Physical activity barriers, nutrition, motivation, and body composition in university students

Integrating behavioural scales with body composition measures shows that nutritional attitudes, general motivation, and perceived barriers jointly shape students' healthy lifestyle profiles. These findings can inform gender-sensitive, university-based health promotion programs designed to reduce barriers and strengthen students' overall motivational regulation.

Integrating behavioural scales with body composition measures shows that nutritional attitudes, general motivation, and perceived barriers jointly shape students' healthy lifestyle profiles. These findings can inform gender-sensitive, university-based health promotion programs designed to reduce barriers and strengthen students' overall motivational regulation.
