Abstract in brief

  • People with obesity often self-exclude from sport and exercise due to traumatic experiences of weight stigma and discrimination, which they manage by avoiding certain settings or exercising at home.
  • This self-exclusion is a coping mechanism to prevent further negative experiences, involving strategies like exercising in safe spaces or exercising alone to avoid social stigma.
  • The study suggests that this self-exclusion may contribute to overall physical inactivity among people with obesity, highlighting how weight stigma impacts their participation in physical activity.]
