Brief Summary  

Introduction - Physical activity, involving skeletal muscle movements and energy expenditure, is a primary treatment for preventing chronic health disorders. Health professionals, including physiotherapists, require essential competencies in health promotion and education. Physically active therapists prescribe structured physical activity, serving as credible role models. Studies indicate physiotherapists’ physical activity level, emphasizing the need to understand determinants influencing therapists’ activity levels for effective health promotion programs. 

Justification for study-Physically active prescribe physical activity (PA) in a more structured form and frequently promote PA to patients. Evidence reveals that a majority of physiotherapists do not engage in enough physical activity to meet the adult PA guidelines. Given the relatively lower levels of PA among physiotherapists in various countries, there is a pressing need to enhance PA levels for better exercise prescription quality and effective PA promotion. Identifying determinants that influence therapists’ physical activity behavior will be useful for planning strategies to improve their PA levels. By enhancing their own physical activity, therapists may effectively influence PA behavior among their patients. 

Aim -The aim of the study is to assess the Physical Activity level and to identify determinants affecting it among Physiotherapists in Karnataka.

 Objectives - 1. To Assess the level of Physical Activity among physiotherapists in Karnataka.2. To Identify the Determinants associated with the physical activity level among Physiotherapists in Karnataka. 

Methodology - Ethical clearance obtained from the ethical committee. Participants will be selected based on selection criteria . Brief introduction will be given by the therapist to subject explaining the purpose and nature of the study. Informed consent will be obtained from the subjects and basic demographic details. A Two Self-Reported Questionnaire Form will be filled by the subject. The scales will be interpreted. 

Data Analysis- Data will be summarized using Descriptive Analysis.
