  1. Note: Beta-coefficient (β) was used to describe to describe the extent of SD change in the physical activity barriers score if the predictor of interest changed by 1 SD (while the other predictors were held constant). R2 was used to describe the variation of barriers score
  2. *significance level at p < 0.05.
