Purpose The purposes of the current study were: 1) to develop a questionnaire examining barriers to parental physical activity (PA) support and 2) to examine how barriers are associated with intention and parental PA support in parents of children with disabilities. Method This study was conducted in three phases. Phase I focused on item development, while Phase II addressed content validity. Phase III involved field testing. The Questionnaire for Barriers to Parental PA Support in Parents of Children with Disabilities (QBPPS-PCD) was initially developed, comprising three constructs and 16 items. Additionally, parents’ intentions to support their child’s physical activity and their actual support behaviors were measured to examine their association with perceived barriers. Results A final model with nine items (three items in each construct) was developed, which revealed an excellent model fit([df = 24, p = .147], CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.93. RMSEA = 0.05). Pathway analysis indicated that competence barriers were significantly and negatively associated with intention (β = -.28, p = .03), which in turn was significantly and positively associated with parental PA support (β = .31, p < .001). Conclusion The QBPPS for PCD consists of three constructs, differently associated with intention and parental PA support. The questionnaire developed in this study can serve as a tool for assessing parents’ competence barriers.
