Document Summary
Social: aspects within social setting or human interaction (can be barriers or facilitators) *few evidence-based exercise interventions are translated into practical settings (knowledge to action gap) Outcome variable: pa as the end goal (fun can be a strong factor in pa) Pa as a treatment variable: modify individual"s life experience through physical activity. Theory of planned behaviour: intention is the most closely related to behaviour (if you can change intention, you can likely change behaviour) Pa contracts: writing something up and getting someone to sign it. P. a. does not have to be going to the gym! Behavioural, personal and environmental factors all influence one another. Vicarious experience (watching others succeed at something) Physiological and affective states (cues to how hard someone is working) affective states are how someone is feeling. Stage-targeted interventions more likely to induce motivational changes. Only theory that considers autonomy as a basic need. Those who have more autonomy are more likely to be active/sustain pa behaviour.
