Document Summary
Inactivity has been cited as a leading cause of non-communicable disease, disability, and hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths worldwide each year. Interventions do not directly change behaviour, but they modify one or more physical activity determinants which in turn can increase pa. Since tpb and tt conceptualize perceived benefits and barriers to be important determinants of exercise, one intervention strategy is to teach people to recognize more benefits of exercise and fewer barriers. A change in perceived benefits and barriers would be expected to have a subsequent effect on exercise. Interventions that change theory- and research-based determinants of activity might not always be effective as desired, but they should be more effective than approaches that attempt to alter factors that have been not been shown to influence pa. Little is known about long-term effects of latter 3 intervention types (further research needed) Before the interventions take place, the recipients should be open to the idea of becoming more.
