Document Summary

For research to come full circle: factors determining physical activity patterns are established, a successful intervention is completed. Outcome variable: develop an intervention, test whether or not it positively affects physical activity behaviour.

Theory-based research: evaluates relationships among constructs proposed by theories or models of behaviour change. Non-theory based research: may contain same constructs outlined by theories, but not concerned with testing theoretically proposed relationships. Five models that lead to effective interventions: theory of planned behaviour, social cognitive theory, transtheoretical model, self-determination theory, health action process approach. Promoting perceptions of personal control or self-regulation of physical activity. Behaviour, personal factors, and environmental factors are all connected. Self-efficacy is key, can be manipulated by focusing on mastery or performance a(cid:272)(cid:272)o(cid:373)plish(cid:373)e(cid:374)t"s, goal setti(cid:374)g, so(cid:272)ial suppo(cid:396)t, edu(cid:272)atio(cid:374)al p(cid:396)og(cid:396)a(cid:373)s, a(cid:374)d aid of leade(cid:396).
