Introduction : Participation in physical activity is a key component of a healthy lifestyle. To this extent, the Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen, 1991) and selfefficacy (Bandura, 1995) have been used extensively to understand the determinants of participation in physical activity in order to outline the appropriate health promotion strategies. Participation in physical activity is also linked to the experience of well-being or improved in quality of life.Aims : The objectives of this dissertation were to test the utility of predicting physical activity behaviour of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as well as self-efficacy using a specifically devised questionnaire for a Malaysian population and the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (Bandura, 2006). It also aimed to examine the relationship between participating in physical activity and quality of life.Methods : This study was carried out among the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) receiving support from the Ministry of Health Malaysia to run physical activity programmes. To fulfil the objectives, both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed in this research. The first study used qualitative methods to develop a Malaysian TPB questionnaire. This was then used in the main study where quantitative data were collected at four time points in a longitudinal study of engagement with physical activity programmes. In addition, to gather an in-depth understanding of beliefs, qualitative data was also collected via interviews with attendees and organisers of the NGOs, as well as senior officials in the Ministry of Health Malaysia.Results : Findings from the main study provided support for the utility of the TPB in identifying the determinants of the physical activity behaviour. Attitude emerged as the strongest predictor of behavioural intention across all time points. However, perceived behavioural control was found to be a better predictor of future intention to perform physical activity and physical activity behaviour. The Exercise Self-Efficacy scale did not make a significant contribution to the prediction of intention to exercise. The study found a significant association between quality of life and physical activity, particularly of vigorous intensity. As for the qualitative thematic analyses, interviews revealed that the major reason participants continue to engage in physical activity could be classified into 'socio-economic', 'physical environment' and 'personal factors'.Conclusion : TPB has been shown to be effective in predicting physical activity behaviour among the Malaysian population. This study provides support of the relationship between performing physical activity and quality of life especially among the Malaysian population. Future physical activity health promotion programmes should be targeting PBC and affective process to increase adherence.
