Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The present investigation was designed to examine the influence of exercise consultations and personal trainer sessions on exercise self-efficacy, leisure time physical activity, and exercise stage of change. Attitudes toward exercise and evaluation of consultations were also investigated as part of the mixed method study. Participants included 23 women ranging in age from 18 to who were assigned to a control (C), exercise consultation (EC), or exercise consultation plus personal trainer (ECPT) a group for a 6-week intervention. The EC group increased physical activity over the 6-week period. No increase in physical activity was found for ECPT and C groups. Exercise self-efficacy did not increase for EC and ECPT groups, and decreased in the C group. Members of the EC and ECPT groups increased exercise stage over the 6 weeks, whereas the C group showed no increase. Participants reported that time management skills, goal setting, knowledge, and accountability were helpful aspects of the program. Participant assessment of consultations, comparison of treatment groups, and change in attitudes were addressed. Limitations, implications, and suggestions for future research were also discussed.

This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical activity has far-reaching benefits for physical, mental, emotional, and social health and well-being for all segments of the population. Despite these documented health benefits and previous efforts to promote physical activity in the U.S. population, most Americans do not meet current public health guidelines for physical activity. Surveillance in public health is the ongoing systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of outcome-specific data, which can then be used for planning, implementation and evaluation of public health practice. Surveillance of physical activity is a core public health function that is necessary for monitoring population engagement in physical activity, including participation in physical activity initiatives. Surveillance activities are guided by standard protocols and are used to establish baseline data and to track implementation and evaluation of interventions, programs, and policies that aim to increase physical activity. However, physical activity is challenging to assess because it is a complex and multidimensional behavior that varies by type, intensity, setting, motives, and environmental and social influences. The lack of surveillance systems to assess both physical activity behaviors (including walking) and physical activity environments (such as the walkability of communities) is a critical gap. Implementing Strategies to Enhance Public Health Surveillance of Physical Activity in the United States develops strategies that support the implementation of recommended actions to improve national physical activity surveillance. This report also examines and builds upon existing recommended actions.
