This book was released on 2001-11-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exercise in later life is important for health and well-being, yet motivating older adults to exercise can be difficult. This book addresses that need by tailoring "The Transtheoretical Model" of behavior change to the client's level of readiness for change. The contributors show how TTM can be used to help older adults with varying needs and abilities to change their exercise behaviors. This book is essential for health care professionals including nurses, exercise specialists, occupational therapists, social workers, and others interested in helping older adults incorporate exercise into their daily lives.

Book excerpt: Abstract The Effect of a Stage of Change Tailored Intervention on Physical Activity and Psychological States of Older Adults Introduction: As life expectancy increases in the United States, activity promotion programs aim to help older adults continue to remain happy, healthy, and productive. Programs that facilitate exercise and lifestyle changes can offset regular age-related declines and improve participation in regular fitness programs. Developing more active lifestyles can help the elderly maintain independence in their everyday activities. Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a physical activity intervention tailored to participants' stage of change on attitudes towards physical activity, self-efficacy, and decisional balance in older adults. Methods: This project involved teaching a curriculum to a group of older adults at a retirement community with independent and assisted living communities. The course covered a span of 8 weeks during which participants met once per week. The curriculum covered information about health and exercising, processes of change associated with participants' current stage of change, and instruction of simple exercises. The impact of this intervention was assessed using surveys and a focus group to determine the effectiveness of the curriculum in improving physical activity perceptions and behaviors. Results: There were five participants enrolled in the course; however, only three had data for both pre-and post-intervention assessments. Two of the three individuals stayed in the maintenance stage throughout the entire course, while one participant started out in preparation, but then progressed to the action stage by the end of the intervention. Significant differences from pre-and post-intervention were not seen for the Modifiable Activity Question (MAQ), Exercise Confidence Survey, or Decisional Balance Scale. However, two participants had an increase in their hours/week and METs*hrs/week of physical activity as reported by the MAQ. Two participants also had an increase in their Exercise Confidence Survey score while the Decisional Balance scale showed that the participants focused slightly less on the cons of exercise following the intervention. The focus group conducted at the end of the intervention revealed that participants liked having specific exercise information sheets and enjoyed the class material and presentation style. The focus group also showed that some participants felt encouraged to continue to exercise and increase their exercise amounts. Discussion: With the progression in stage placement of the TTM, a person generally perceives physical activity in a more positive way and is more likely to adopt exercise into their lifestyle. In order to assist people in progressing through the stages of change, a tailored intervention may be more effective. This study used staged-matched processes of change discussion to promote more positive attitudes towards exercise as well as a health education curriculum to engage the participants. As a person moves through the TTM stages, they generally increase in their self-efficacy as well as view more advantages to adopting exercise into their regular routine. With a small sample size and resulting limited data, it was difficult to form generalizable conclusions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social problems in many domains, including health, education, social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus, The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology, sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop effective interventions to change behavior.

Download or read book Psychology of Physical Activity written by Stuart Biddle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-11 with total page 647 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 be a major concern throughout the world. Understanding the psychology of physical activity has therefore become an important issue for scientists, health professionals and policy-makers alike as they address the challenge of behaviour change. Psychology of Physical Activity provides comprehensive and in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of exercise psychology, from mental health, to theories of motivation and adherence, and to the design of successful interventions for increasing participation. Now publishing in a fully revised, updated and expanded fourth 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. As the field continues to grow rapidly, the new edition expands the behavioural science content of numerous important topics, including physical activity and cognitive functioning, automatic and affective frameworks for understanding physical activity involvement, new interventions designed to increase physical activity (including use of new technologies), and sedentary behaviour. 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 book on exercise psychology currently available. It is essential reading for all students working in behavioural medicine, as well as the exercise and health sciences.

Download or read book Acculturation and Social Support as Predictors of Physical Activity in a Web based Intervention for Latinas written by Tanya J. Benitez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinas in the United States report high levels of physical inactivity and are disproportionately burdened by associated chronic diseases, demonstrating the need for innovative approaches to reducing these disparities. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate self-reported changes in physical activity and social support, and to examine the association between physical activity and acculturation, following a one month culturally and linguistically adapted, theory-driven (Social Cognitive Theory and Transtheoretical Model) Internet-based physical activity intervention for Latina adults. Data was collected from Spanish-speaking Latinas (N=24) between the ages of 21-61 years (M=35.17, SD=11.22) enrolled in a web-based physical activity pilot study. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed rank tests were used to assess pre-post changes in self-reported physical activity and social support for exercise from baseline to one-month. Bivariate regression analyses were used to assess whether pre-post changes in social support were associated with pre-post changes in physical activity, and whether baseline level of acculturation was associated with pre-post changes in physical activity. Study completers reported significant increases in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity from an average of 29.05 (SD= 34.01) minutes per week at baseline to 125.48 (SD= 148.22) minutes per week at one-month (p= .003). Non-parametric tests also indicated significant increases in physical activity from baseline to one month. There were no significant changes in social support from baseline to one month and no significant association between pre-post changes in social support and pre-post changes in physical activity. Baseline level of acculturation was not significantly associated with pre-post changes in physical activity. Results from this study provide preliminary support for the use of culturally adapted Internet-based interventions for promoting physical activity among Latina adults. Further research with larger, more diverse samples of Latinas and randomized controlled designs is necessary to understand the impact of using Internet-based interventions for reducing physical activity disparities among Latinas, as well as the relationship between psychosocial variables such as social support and acculturation and physical activity in this community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stages-of-change model has become widely known as a framework for conceptualizing recovery. Less well known are the processes that drive movement through the stages or how the stages apply to becoming addicted. From Carlo C. DiClemente, codeveloper of the transtheoretical model, this book offers a panoramic view of the entire continuum of addictive behavior change. The author illuminates the common path that individuals travel as they establish and reinforce new patterns of behavior, whether they are developing an addiction or struggling to free themselves from one, and regardless of the specific addictive behavior. The book addresses crucial questions of why, when, and how to intervene to bolster recovery in those already addicted and reach out effectively to people at risk.
