description: Recently, the University of British Columbia (UBC) Undergraduate Experience Survey (UES) International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) revealed that females from Asian Ethnic groups are the least involved with physical activity (PA) and recreation at the UBC. This project looks at self-identified Chinese female students (including Macao and Taiwanese students), and examines the potential barriers that limit their engagement in recreational PA. In this study, we will be utilizing a time mapping method. Time mapping is a tool which will allow us to visualize the actual amount of time passed engaging in given activities on different days. This will allow us to see how these students are spending their day hour by hour, and how they transition from one activity to the next. As “lack of time” was a major commonality in much of our preliminary research (Yanz & Cardinal, 2012; Im et al., 2012; Daniel, Abendorth, & Erlen, 2017; Im & Choe, 2004), time-mapping will likely be a valuable tool to identify how self-identified Chinese females at UBC spend their time, and see if hypothetically they are able to incorporate PA into their schedules. Recruitment for this study was conducted through convenience sampling in which the SEEDS network, UBC AMS club pages, various UBC undergraduate pages, and social media was used. We found that social media was a strong outlet in yielding the most participants. Through this recruitment process, 15 individuals voluntarily agreed to participate, which required them to complete a Qualtrics survey and an excel document, mapping out three days’ worth of activity of their week. Due to the large target demographic, a survey was used alongside an excel document to properly identify participants’ delegation of time throughout the week. The survey included both multiple choice questions as well as open-ended questions to encapsulate the most data around potential time barriers. Questions in the survey primarily focused on aspects like how stude…
