Book The Stages of Change in Exercise Adoption and Adherence

Download or read book The Stages of Change in Exercise Adoption and Adherence written by Colin Andrew Armstrong and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transtheoretical model of Prochaska and DiClemente (1982) was developed to explain when and how individuals change their behavior, as well as which factors influence these changes. According to this model, individuals progress through the five stages of change (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance) during the process of changing their behavior. The validity of physical activity stages of change instruments has been supported by comparisons with measures of self-efficacy, perceived barriers and benefits, and self-reported participation in physical activity. Stages of change measures have not been validated with objective measures of physical activity. The goal of the current study was to simultaneously evaluate the validity of three commonly used physical activity stage instruments using both a self-report and an objective measure of physical activity. Measures of self-efficacy, barriers, and benefits were also examined. Seventy-two participants completed all measures. Participants wore a small electronic activity monitor (Tritrac accelerometer) during waking hours for one week and completed a semi-structured interview (PAR) to assess their participation in physical activity during the same period of time. The Tritrac and PAR provided scores reflecting a participant's daily minutes in moderate to vigorous physical activity. Consistent with past research, Self-Efficacy, Barriers, Benefits, PAR, and Tritrac data were examined in separate one-way ANOVAs for each stage instrument. Thirteen of the fifteen ANOVAs were significant following a Bonferroni adjustment of the alpha $(p

Book The Effects of Stage matched Intervention on the Stages of Change and Exercise Self efficacy

Download or read book The Effects of Stage matched Intervention on the Stages of Change and Exercise Self efficacy written by Meghan Harder and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine the influence stage-matching interventions had on stages of change, exercise self-efficacy and the transition from one stage to another in contemplators and preparers participating in lifestyle physical activity. Ten novice male (n=10) and female (n=9) exercisers completed lifestyle activity on their own time and attended biweekly one-hour stage-matched class sessions during a 10-week study. Participants were assessed for stages of change, exercise self-efficacy and cardiorespiratory endurance during the first and tenth week of the study. Cardiorespiratory endurance was measured by a one-mile walk test. They received stage-matched workbooks in addition to attending the class sessions. The Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Ranks test showed significance difference for stages of change (p=.0117) but not for exercise self-efficacy (p=.0580). The Spearman Rank Order Correlation showed a relationship between stages of change and exercise self-efficacy (p=.0331). A paired t-test was used to analyze cardiorespiratory endurance and showed no significance (p=.7530). The results seem to indicate that stage-matching intervention is a valid tool for exercise behavior change"--Document.
