Document Summary
To begin, a short recap of the client; matteo lazzaro, a 20-year old male who has currently adapted a busy student schedule involving school and a part time job. As an exercise professional, its extremely important to gain a clear understanding of where the client stands in terms of motivation and exercise adherence, by gathering information regarding their lifestyle habits. This is because, guiding a client in facilitating a change in behaviour towards physical activity involves the process of replacing unhealthy behaviours, with healthy ones. An important fact to understand is that a large portion of an indi(cid:448)idual"s kno(cid:449)ledge is contingent on their perception of the observed context within personal experiences, social interactions, and external media. The social cognitive theory (sgt) suggests that these perceptions can shape self- efficacy which greatly influences the facilitation in regulating human behaviour, motivation, and well- being (bandura, 2004).
