Tiivistelmä	The Barriers to Physical Activity Questionnaire (BPA) is a scale designed to identify and measure perceived obstacles to exercise engagement. Rooted in the Health Belief Model and Health Promotion Model, the BPA assesses multiple categories of barriers—time constraints, lack of motivation, physical discomfort, cost, lack of facilities, social/family factors, and weather—that individuals perceive as preventing or limiting physical activity. Understanding which barriers are most salient for a given individual or population enables targeted intervention design, such as time management coaching, facility access solutions, or social support programs. The BPA is widely used in primary care, community health, occupational health, and exercise research to segment populations and tailor physical activity prescriptions.	The Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire—3 (BREQ-3) is a 24-item measure developed by Wilson and colleagues (2012) to assess the type and quality of motivation underlying exercise behavior. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, the BREQ-3 measures six regulation types positioned on a continuum from amotivation (no intention to exercise) through external regulation (exercising for external rewards or pressure), introjected regulation (exercising due to guilt or internal pressure), identified regulation (exercising because you value the benefits), integrated regulation (exercising because it aligns with your identity and values), and intrinsic motivation (exercising for enjoyment and interest). The BREQ-3 is widely used in exercise science, sports psychology, and health behavior research to understand why people exercise and to predict long-term exercise adherence.
