EDKP – 448 – Lecture 1
Motivational Interview
1. Pertains to strategies to get individuals to motivates themselves (self-regulate)
Concept Map:
1. Set of theories that dictates PA.
a. Ex: SDT Self-determination Theory
2. Strategies to implement theories and its effect on PA.
3. Outcomes enhanced QoF, Psychological outcomes, self (body image0, and personality (optimism)
Lecture 2: Introduction to Exercise Psychology
Physical Activity, Exercise, & Sedentary Behaviour
1. Physical Activity
Any bodily movement that requires physical exertion
above daily activity requirements.
2. Leisure-time Physical Activity (LTPA)
Bodily movement during leisure time.
*i.e., PA that is not related to school, work, and/or
transportation
*It’s what u do in your free time
3. Exercise
PA or Bodily Movement that’s more
structured/organized.
1. Notably, Exercise is within LTPA, which itself is within PA.
2. Sedentary Behaviour “Any Waking activity carried out in a sitting or reclining position that is
characterized by an energy expenditure less than 1.5 METs” – Tremblay et al. 2000; Cart, 2012
a. Any WAKING means sleeping does not count as sedentary behaviour
b. Ex: Tablets, Puzzles, Sitting, etc.
3. Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour are independent of each other:
*Refer back to PPT outline
1. Someone can be Physically Inactive + Not
Very Sedentary
Ex: Doing lots of baking, or being workers at a
company that requires them to walk a lot.
*They Don’t run/go to the gym but normal
daily life is active.
2. Someone can be Physically Active +
Sedentary
Ex: They can sit around for 8 hours a day and
then they can run for 30 min for 5x/week
(150min/week) Sitting isn’t altered.
Key: Just because you do PA, doesn’t mean you’re active (vice-versa Independent).
PA Guidelines for Adults (18-64 y.o)
1. 150 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic PA.
a. Can be in bouts of 10 min or more
2. Muscles and bone strengthening activities for major muscle groups 2x/week.
3. More PA greater health benefits
1. 15% of the population meets PA guidelines.
2. 85% of the population DO NOT meet PA
guidelines.
PA Guidelines for Children (5-11 y.o) vs. Youth (12-17 y.o)
1) Both groups have the same guidelines.
2) 60min/day of moderate to vigorous PA. This should include:
1. Vigorous-intensity activities 3 days/week
2. Muscles and Bone strengthening exercise 3
days/week
3. More PA greater health benefits
Statistics of 1, 3, and 6 days/week of 60min of
exercise moderate to vigorous intensity (6-19
y.o) – 2007-2009 Canada
1. Key: Concerning that only 6 to 14% of
boys meet the guidelines of PA 6
days/week.
2. It’s even worse for girls 2-7% of 6
days/week of PA.

Why is Changing health-behaviour so difficult? – Keller & Barker
1. It is Just common Sense
1. “human behaviour is so obvious that it needs little
or no serious thought”
2. It does not matter whether the language is simple
or obscure, change is difficult and requires sustained
motivation and support
*Refer back to PPT outline
3. Common sense has led repeatedly to ineffective
interventions delivered at great cost in terms of
money, resources and lost opportunities. It has also
meant that the accumulated learning from the
behavioural and social sciences has been ignored
Key: Just giving information won’t change one’s behaviour
The 23 ½ video portrays PA as easy and common sense (which isn’t)
What would happen if you gave it to a inactive friend/family member?
a) Focusing on the easy common sense part won’t lead to behavioural change.
2. It is about getting the message Across
1. “Simply a matter of getting the packaging of
messages right”
2. “The psychological sciences demonstrate that
simple stimulus-response models explain only a
small fraction of human behaviour”. **True
3. Purchasing a car or a tube of toothpaste is not the
same kind of behaviour as making a decision” to
change behaviours on adopting PA.
4. Campaigns… are but one part of a total strategy
and behaviour change is not just about simple
messaging
*Campaigns are helpful and it’s the initial step, but it
just isn’t good enough on it’s own.
*Campaigns are broad reaching (TV) but it has a
small effect on behavioural change.
3. Knowledge and Information drive behaviour
1. “what this model assumes is that if we tell people
the negative consequences of eating too much or
exercising too little, they will change their behaviour
accordingly. This is clearly not true and every front-
line clinician and practitioner knows it is not true.”
*Physical educators would say the same.
2. Giving people information does not make them
change
Notably for PA, focusing on gains/promotions/good behaviours are more influential compared to death-
related aspects (mortality, morbidity, etc.).
4. People act rationally
1. “this assumes that if you tell people what is good
for them and what they need to do to protect their
health, they will do it. However, they clearly do
not.”
2. “The idea that simply providing people with
information to make them understand things and
that once they have the facts they will change their
sense of who and what they are is specious in the
extreme”
3. “‘nudge’ in shaping human behaviour”
(interventions)
We need to provide people with the tools needed to
change behaviours (concept of nudge).
5. People act irrationally
1. “If people do not act rationally all the time,
neither are they always irrational.”
2. “It is arrogant to assume that people consume
alcohol, chocolate, or cream cakes because they are
