Document Summary

Assignment 3: 10 point font for chart (no smaller) Majority of sedentary interventions include environmental manipulations (standing desks, etc) rather than behavioural interventions. Behavioural interventions tend to affect modifiable factors (cognitive and motivational factors) Study: cognitive and motivational factors associated with sedentary behaviour. Certain variables are more important/greater relationship with sedentary behaviour. Positive attitudes towards sb, greater social support/norms for sb, greater sb habits, greater intentions to be sedentary, greater motivation towards sb. Greater self-efficacy/control over sb and greater intentions to reduce sb. Positive attitude towards pa; greater social support/norms for pa, self-efficacy/control for pa, Since (modifiable) cognitive and motivational factors have been identified, the manipulation of these variables for purposes of behaviour change interventions to reduce sb can be examined. Different functions behaviour change interventions can help with; identified different techniques that fall under these; behavioural interventions utilize various techniques to benefit various functions (associated with sedentary behaviour)
