To achieve a healthy lifestyle, the determining factors of PA among adolescents should be well understood which would in turn lead to intervention strategies promoting PA behaviors. Recommendations for increased PA have been integrated with many guidelines, including those from the world health organization (WHO) with the ‘move for health’ program. However, despite all these guidelines, there are still many people reported to be physically inactive. This study aimed to investigate the success factors related for social support, environmental, psychology and health-related fitness for PA among adolescent girls with hearing impairments. By utilizing three well-known theoretical frameworks to further investigate the barriers and facilitate PA among this age group: Social cognitive theory (SCT), Theory of planned behavior (TPB) and Self-determination theory (SDT). A model was proposed to improve PA level in Iraq. Utilization of other frameworks was not recommended according to the literature as it implies different needs, making it difficult to fit certain cultural or geographical conditions in Iraq. The social support, environmental, psychology and health-related fitness factors have been investigated as the main antecedents that may affect the PA level for adolescent girls with hearing impairments. This help to combine and verify the relationship and effects among the proposed factors and domains in the model.]]>WHO.,20132013Eather, N., P.J. Morgan and D.R. Lubans,20132013Button, B., S.
