Client Interview and Promoting Physical Activity Adherence
Barriers to Participation:
- insufficient time, work and study commitments
- lack of interest
Promoting Adherence:
- understand why people don’t exercise, barriers
- theoretical models of physical activity behaviour
- correlates of exercise
- know who is at high risk of dropout
- target strategies to promote activity
Theoretical Models of PA Behaviour:
Cognitive Behavioural Models
Process Models
Ecological Models – focus on influence of environment on exercise behaviour
Transtheoretical Model
- ‘stages of change’
- pre-contemplation > contemplation > action > maintenance (sometimes preparation)
Positive Correlates of Exercise:
- demographics (education, male, income, SES)
- cognitive and personality variants (enjoyment, benefits, intention, fitness, self
efficacy/motivation)
- behaviour (past program participation)
- social environment (group cohesion, support)
- physical environment (access – actual and perceived)
- physical activity characteristics (group programs and leader characteristics)
Negative Correlates:
- demographics – age, blue collar job, heart disease risk
- cognitive and personality variants – barriers, time, mood
- behaviours – smoking, Type A behaviour
- social environment
- physical environment – climate, routine
- physical activity characteristics – intensity, effort
Gathering Information:
- pre-interview techniques – questionnaires, forms, medical info
- client interview
The Client Interview:
Introduction > PAR-Q > screening > asking goals (general) > fitness assessment > set goals
(SMART) > write program > develop follow-up strategy
Document Summary
Know who is at high risk of dropout. Ecological models focus on influence of environment on exercise behaviour. Pre-contemplation > contemplation > action > maintenance (sometimes preparation) Cognitive and personality variants (enjoyment, benefits, intention, fitness, self efficacy/motivation) Physical environment (access actual and perceived) Physical activity characteristics (group programs and leader characteristics) Demographics age, blue collar job, heart disease risk. Cognitive and personality variants barriers, time, mood. Pre-interview techniques questionnaires, forms, medical info. Introduction > par-q > screening > asking goals (general) > fitness assessment > set goals (smart) > write program > develop follow-up strategy. Anything affecting adherence or program idea of current, safe testing. Work situation full time, multiple jobs, time, energy. Past history of exercise good, bad, injuries, sports. Aerobic, strength, endurance, bp, hr, rom, body fat. After you have test results, you can start setting goals. Eg. lose weight, gain muscle, tone up, prevent injury, get fitter, fit into clothing, triathlon. Smart specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound.
