Document Summary
Intervention: modifications of the specific factors that affect physical activity based on an understanding of the commonalities in human behaviour with an appreciation of the differences that exist between individuals. Determinant research: examines the factors that affect exercise behaviour. Intervention research: research that evaluates how manipulating important factors identified through determinant research affects exercise behaviour. Outcome variable: a response that occurs as a consequence of being involved in physical activity. Outcome based exercise research: research that develops interventions and tests whether or not they positively affect exercise behaviour. Treatment variable: a variable that is presented to an individual to see its effect on an outcome variable. Treatment-based exercise research: research that modifies an individual"s life experiences through the use of physical activity - physical activity presented to an individual to influence life outcomes and other relevant factors. Physical activity as an outcome in intervention research. Theory-based research: interventions based on theoretically proposed relationships among constructs.
