| dc.description.abstract | The youth's lack of knowledge and misconception on Physical Activity (PA) and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) risk factors aid the
growing burden of NCDs globally. This study explored the knowledge and perception of youth in a low-resource community in the Western Cape
Province.A qualitative methodological approach was used for data collection, using a qualitative exploratory study design. Convenience sampling was used
to select participants, aged 18-35 years old from Vrygrond in the Western Cape Province. Focused group discussions were steered by means of a
semi-structured interview questionnaire to guide the discussion about perceptions and knowledge of PA and NCDs risk factors. Discussions were
analysed using Atlas.Ti8. | en_US |
