Abstract | This literature review explores the various barriers to physical activity participation among university students in selected universities in Zhengzhou, China. Despite the recognized benefits of regular physical activity for physical and mental well-being, many students face significant obstacles that hinder their engagement. Through a systematic analysis of existing studies, this review identifies key barriers categorized into individual, social, cultural, environmental, and institutional factors. Individual factors include psychological challenges such as low motivation and self-efficacy, while social influences encompass peer dynamics and cultural perceptions of physical activity. Cultural factors is essential for developing effective interventions to promote physical activity among university students. Sun (2021) suggests that initiatives should be designed with cultural sensitivity in mind, promoting inclusive programming that resonates with the values and beliefs of the student population. By addressing cultural perceptions and providing supportive environments, universities can help overcome the obstacles to physical activity participation. Environmental barriers relate to the availability and accessibility of facilities, alongside safety concerns in the surrounding area. Institutional factors highlight the role of university policies and the availability of supportive programs. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions that address these barriers, promoting a culture of physical activity within the university setting. This review aims to inform policymakers and university administrators in developing strategies that enhance student engagement in physical activity, ultimately fostering healthier lifestyles among the student population. |
