description Purpose: This study was performed to assess the factors which prevent obese patients from regular exercise. Methods: A questionnarie was given to 1400 patients (748 female, 653 male) who attended to Baskent University Adana Hospital obesity outpatient clinic. Results: The cases expressed the main reason for exercise noncompliance as ‘Lack of time’ (55,5%). Other excuses were as follows; having a disease which prevents them to exercise (39,6%), Inertia (24,6%), Lack of adherence (23,1%), Absence of suitable environment (22,8%), Safety issues (18,3%), Environmental pressure (14,8%), Lack of company (14,1%), Unfulfilling family responsibilities (11,5%), Fear of having an accident (9,5%), Not believing in exercising (8,3%), Not internalizing exercise (7,6%), Fear of unconcious exercise (7,3%), Thinking exercise is harmful (5,9%), Not knowing the best time for exercise (4,5%), No need for exercise (3,7%) and finally ’Imposition’ Conclusion: Obese cases need to have a better understanding in terms of benefits of exercise and health workers need to play a main role on this subject [Cukurova Med J 2012; 37(3.000): 162-167]
