Download or read book Applied Exercise Psychology written by Selen Razon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Exercise Psychology emphasizes the application of evidence-based knowledge drawn from the fields of exercise psychology, health psychology, clinical and counseling psychology, and exercise physiology for physical activity behavior change. The book provides readers with: theoretical bases for understanding and promoting physical activity behavior; interventions to use for facilitating physical activity behavior change and the tools for measuring the effectiveness of these interventions; cross-cultural considerations for practitioners to ensure multicultural competency; considerations to guide best practices with special populations (e.g., persons with medical conditions and persons with mental health conditions); overall applied implications and future directions. The collection builds a bridge between up-to-date research findings, relevant field experiences, and applied implications. This is the first book to cover such breadth of topics in applied exercise psychology, with chapters bringing often overlooked issues to the attention of practitioners to promote not only evidence-based practice but also responsible ethics and referral.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The researcher examined the relationship between self-notivation and program adherence for 43 adults participating in a YMCA fitness program. In addition, the researcher utilized a group decision balance sheet (DBS) intervention with half the group to detemine its effect on pprogram adherence. The results of a 2 X 2 ANOVA indicated no significant (p > .05) main effect for level of self-motivation, nor for the treatment intervention. In this study, there was no significant (p > .05) relationship between scores on the self-notivation inventory (SMI), age, weight, exercise outside of class and days of program attendance. There was a significant (p

This book was released on 2008 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to examine the relationships among self-efficacy, self-motivation, and physical activity. Selected college students were recruited as they entered a southern Illinois fitness facility. Mean age of participants was 24.13+.036. Participation consisted of completing a series of surveys that measure exercise self-efficacy, self-motivation to exercise, and physical activity behavior over the two-week span prior to participation. Exercise self-efficacy was recorded on a 0-20 scale. Mean scores were 14.18+3.50. Self-motivation to exercise was recorded on a scale ranging from 7-35. Mean self-motivation scores were 24.38 + 3.93. Physical activity was measured in number of days participants reported being moderately to vigorously physically active in the two weeks prior to their participation. The theoretical range of scores was 0-14. Mean physical activity scores were 7.81 + 3.15. Correlation analysis revealed positive moderate correlations among all three variables (self-efficacy to physical activity, r = .462; self-motivation to physical activity, r = .421; self-efficacy to self-motivation, r = .411). Additionally, multiple regression analysis revealed self-efficacy to be the strongest single predictor of physical activity. Self-motivation and age also were found to be statistically significant in terms of physical activity prediction ( p
Download or read book Psychology of Physical Activity written by Stuart J. H. Biddle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The positive benefits of physical activity for physical and mental health are now widely acknowledged, yet levels of physical inactivity continue to increase throughout the developed world. Understanding the psychology of physical activity has therefore become an important concern for scientists, health professionals and policy-makers alike. Psychology of Physical Activity is a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to the fundamentals of exercise psychology, from theories of motivation and adherence to the design of successful interventions for increasing participation. Now in a fully revised, updated and expanded third edition, Psychology of Physical Activity is still the only textbook to offer a full survey of the evidence-base for theory and practice in exercise psychology, and the only textbook that explains how to interpret the quality of the research evidence. With international cases, examples and data included throughout, the book also provides a thoroughly detailed examination of the relationship between physical activity and mental health. A full companion website offers useful features to help students and lecturers get the most out of the book during their course, including multiple-choice revision questions, PowerPoint slides and a test bank of additional learning activities. Psychology of Physical Activity is the most authoritative, engaging and up-to-date introduction to exercise psychology currently available. It is essential reading for all students working in exercise and health sciences.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three purposes of this study were: to ascertain whether a program of structured social support would increase adherence to physical activity; to investigate whether the social support program would be differentially effective for participants with different levels of self-motivation as measured by the Self-Motivation Inventory (SMI); and to determine which aspects of the structured social support program were the most useful to participants. The sample consisted of 186, female participants enrolled in a 10 week YMCA Fitness Fantasia aerobic dance program, in Edmonton, Alberta. The subjects were drawn from 16 classes, of which 7 were experimental and 9 control. A modified, stratified random sampling procedure was utilized. As the experimental treatment was implemented within the exercise classes, all subjects within a class were assigned to either the experimental or control treatment condition. As there were a number of significant extraneous factors which could affect attendance, (e.g. day versus night classes, same instructor for more than one class, geographical region, day of class meeting), control was exercised over these factors and then randomly assigning the classes within strata to the two treatment conditions. Equal numbers of subjects scoring high, medium and low on the SMI were selected from each class. All subjects (experimental and control) were given the SMI questionnaire and a consent form to complete, on the first night. In addition, the subjects in the experimental condition received the structured social support intervention. It consisted of an educational booklet, wall charts for the exercise class and participants' homes, and procedures for instituting buddy support, family support, group support and leader support. The intervention was introduced at the first class by the researchers, and thereafter was continued by the instructors. Evaluations of the experimental classes were carried out by questionnaires for last class participants, telephone interviews of participants who had dropped out, and face-to-face semi-structured interviews of experimental exercise class instructors. The results provided support for the efficacy of a structured social support intervention increasing the adherence of participants in an aerobic dance physical activity program. In veiw of the lack of strict controls in carrying out this field experiment, it was recommended that further research be conducted to refine and substantiate the findings of this study. The results did not support the use of the SMI in identifying potential dropouts and there was no interaction found between the SMI and the experimental intervention. It was recommended that further study be carried out on the SMI to determine its usefulness in predicting adherence to physical activity. It was also recommended that alternate approaches to assessing self- motivation should be explored. The evaluations of the intervention by the participants and the instructors were positive and generally the intervention was felt to have increased the amount of social interaction in the exercise classes. Leader support was rated as the most beneficial type of support, though other forms e.g. buddy, family and group were also rated as being beneficial.
