This book was released on 1988 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined factors such as self-motivation and exercise habits (compliance or noncompliance) as well as participant reasons for attending the La Crosse Exercise and Health Program Adult Fitness Unit. Participants were categorized as compliant (C) or noncompliant (NCOMP), a.m. or p.m., and male or female. Self-Motivation Scores were determined by the Self Motivation Inventory (SMI) and participants were categorized into Low Self Motivators (LSM), Medium Self Motivators (MSM) or High Self Motivators (HSM). In addition, an Evaluation Questionnaire was developed by the researcher which addressed many of the factors relating to program compliance. The two instruments were administered to 79 Adult Fitness Ss, with a return rate of 77.2 percent. A chi-square test revealed no significant differences between SMI scores and each of the participant groupings. Further, no significant difference was found between exercise habits and each of the groups addressed. The C Ss were more likely to participate in aerobic exercise sessions outside of the program than the NCOMP. More C Ss strongly agreed that their graded exercise test (gxt) was clearly explained to them. A.M. and male Ss joined upon the recommendation of their physician, while p.m. and female Ss joined because of family or spousal influence. A larger percentage of the a.m. Ss believed the exercise sessions did not interfere with daily activities and that the facilities were easily accessible to home and/or work. A larger percentage of the female Ss believed the exercise facilities were clean and pleasant compared to the male Ss.

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
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.
