Key result
Review identifies 33 physical activity barrier tools for older adults, highlighting EBBS, ESIE, and IPAB.
Why the study?
Addressing physical activity barriers is essential to increase physical activity in middle-aged and older adults, but recommendations on selecting barrier assessment tools are lacking.

Supports EBBS, ESIE, or IPAB use for barrier assessment in adults ≥50; extends tool catalog but leaves optimal choice open.
Systematic Review (n=35)
What are the clinimetric properties of physical activity barrier assessment tools for community-dwelling adults 50 years and older?
The EBBS, ESIE, and IPAB are promising tools for assessing physical activity barriers in community-dwelling adults 50 years and older, though further research is needed to identify the optimal tool.
Wingood et al. (2023) conducted a systematic review in Physical activity participation barriers (n=35). Physical activity barrier assessment tools was evaluated on Clinimetric properties of physical activity barrier assessment tools. A scoping review of 35 articles identified 33 physical activity barrier assessment tools for adults ≥50 years, highlighting the EBBS, ESIE, and IPAB as promising tools with multiple publications.
