A Scale for Older adults’ decisional balance regarding physical ACTIVity (SO-ACTIV): development and validation in a French sample
SO-ACTIV is a brief, theory-based instrument that captures facilitators and barriers to physical activity among French-speaking older adults across intrapersonal, interpersonal, environmental, and organizational levels. Its strong psychometric qualities support its use in future research and to guide targeted counseling and interventions in physical activity.
