Abstract

This study was intended to validate and test the reliability of the newly developed instrument, Risk Analysis for Fitness Facilities (RAFF). Risk analysis has emerged as an effective and comprehensive procedure that supplements and complements the overall management of almost all aspects of our lives. Health care managers, the environment, and physical infrastructure systems all include risk analysis in their decision-making process. In addition, the pervasive applications of risk analysis by several disciplines, along with their implementation in decision-making by industry and government agencies, have led to an incomparable growth of theory, methodology, and realistic tools. The instrument developed was applied as a cross-sectional study and data were collected as establishing factors to confirm and ascertain construct validity. Reliability was tested by measuring internal consistency. The validity of RAFF is expected to assess risk analysis in the fitness industry especially due to the COVID 19, this might also help provide a guideline for health issues or scenarios that acquire quarantine and sanitization. RAFF can be very useful to the sports, health, and fitness practitioner in developing a responsible attitude towards performing and engaging in any activities. RAFF can also be good guidance in developing the procedure in adapting to COVID 19 and preparation for any other health-related issue.
