Abstract
This study to examine the various factors involved in leisure time physical activity participation in Iranian over age 60.To achieve this purpose Hubbard and Mannell’s four models of physical activity participation were analyzed. Initially 600 people participated in this study using cluster sampling. Finally, 552 subjects of elders completed four questionnaires were used including: constraint, negotiation, motivation and physical. For data collection, questionnaires distributed among 9 provinces. The path analysis was used for finding relation between variables and fit model among Iranian elderly. Data showed three questionnaires of constraint, negotiation, motivation have construct validity type of internal consistency and their Cronbach’s Alpha was 0.73, 0.93 and 0.93 respectively. Model’s path analyses in Iranian society showed the first (independence model) and third (constraint effects mitigation model) model were suitable to Iranian society. According to data it can be acknowledged that constraint directly lead to reduce of participation and next of it, factor of motivation can increase the participation.
