Download or read book The Effect of Behavior Change Strategies on Sedentary Behavior Self efficacy for Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Older Adults written by Diana Stucchi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study was to determine if a behavioral modification program based on the Social Cognitive Theory would have an impact on sedentary time, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and self-efficacy (SE for PA) in older adults from a local YMCA. Participants were placed in either the experimental (n = 12) or the control (n = 9) group. The experimental group received group counseling, goal setting, and education on physical activity and sedentary time. The control group received nutrition information. The study lasted for 6 weeks total with weeks 1 and 6 being the pre and post testing, and weeks 2-5 being the group sessions. Six 2x2 mixed factorial ANOVAs were conducted with group being the independent group factor and time being the repeated measures factor. There were no statistically significant interaction effects with regard to group and time, however, there was a main effect for time (p

Book Promoting Exercise and Behavior Change in Older Adults

Download or read book Promoting Exercise and Behavior Change in Older Adults written by Patricia M. Burbank, DNSc, RN and published by Springer Publishing Company. 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.

Book Peer assisted Social Cognitive Physical Activity Intervention for Older Adults

Download or read book Peer assisted Social Cognitive Physical Activity Intervention for Older Adults written by Matthew P. Buman and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social cognitive outcomes were mixed; the intervention did not increase self-efficacy in either group, yet the intervention group had marginally improved intrinsic motivation compared to the control. Physical activity, measured by minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, a metabolic estimate, and pedometer steps, showed positive, curvilinear growth such that activity monotonically increased for the first eight weeks, was sustained for an additional four weeks, and had modest declines in the final four weeks when the intervention was withdrawn. Group assignment did not moderate this time trend. Small improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness were observed in both groups. These findings provide initial support for the use of peer-assisted interventions in the physical activity domain and perhaps more broadly in behavioral and health programs. Future research should continue to explore ways to increase physical activity behavior in older adult populations through the use of peer mentors and a theoretical model that can be easily and inexpensively delivered to a wide range of population subgroups.

Book Application of the Social Cognitive Theory to an Electronic Activity Monitor System based Physical Activity Intervention for Working Adults

Download or read book Application of the Social Cognitive Theory to an Electronic Activity Monitor System based Physical Activity Intervention for Working Adults written by Ka Man Tam and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adults in Hong Kong show relatively low participation in physical activity. In the wake of technological advancements, it has become necessary to promote physical activity in an innovative approach. To that end, this study aimed to investigate the effect of an application of Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) under an eight-week electronic activity monitor system (EAMS)-based intervention on changes in physical activity (PA) as well as its associated SCT constructs of self-efficacy, social support and self-regulation for working adults in Hong Kong. A series of studies were performed: Study 1: In order to assess the validity of the step count output of two popular electronic activity monitor system (EAMS) model, Fitbit Charge HR and Xiaomi Mi Band 2, healthy adult (N=30) worn both EAMS and walked at five predetermined speeds on a treadmill. Two-factor (step x speed) repeated measures ANOVAs was performed to compare the output of devices with manual step count. Result: there was no significant mean difference (p> 0.05) in step count among the Fitbit Charge HR and Mi Band 2 activity monitors and the criterion in all treadmill speeds. Both of them are valid devices for step count in the laboratory setting. Study 2: As to assess the validity of step measurement of Mi Band 2 in the free-living environment, 31 healthy adults were invited for wearing both Mi Band 2 and ActiGraph GT9X Link on their dominant hands wrist for 7 consecutive days. Paired sample t-tests and Pearson correlation were conducted to compare the average steps per day between Mi Band 2 and ActiGraph GT9X Link. Result: there was no significant mean difference (p >0.05) and high positive correlation in step count between the Mi Band 2 and Actigraph. The Mi Band 2 is a valid device for step count in the free-living environment. Study 3: To examine the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of PA related self-efficacy, self-regulation and social support in Hong Kong Chinese adults. There were 230 healthy adults aged 19-63 years recruited. The factorial validity of the scales was assessed by the Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) while criterion validity was assessed by correlating measured constructs with self-reported PA. The internal consistency and scales test-retest reliability were evaluated by Cronbach's alpha and intraclass correlation coefficient, respectively. Result: indicators of CFA supported the one-factor structure while all PA correlates were significant (p

Book Roles of Self efficacy and Social Support on Physical Activity Behavior in Older Adults with and Without Intellectual Disabilities

Download or read book Roles of Self efficacy and Social Support on Physical Activity Behavior in Older Adults with and Without Intellectual Disabilities written by Alicia M. Dixon and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to increase life expectancy without long periods of morbidity, physical activity should be a component in every older adult's lifestyle. It is proven that regular physical activity can improve health and quality of life for older adults; however, the older population is one of the most sedentary populations with less than 40% participating in any physical activity (Hughes, Seymour, Campbell, Whitelaw, & Bazzarre, 2009). In addition, physical activity patterns of older adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) have not been the focus of empirical research studies. It has been shown that adults in this population are not participating in enough physical activity to receive health benefits (Stanish, Temple, & Frey, 2006). The key to determining why older adults are not participating in physical activity is to examine the barriers associated with physical limitations, and the psychological barriers that are limiting older adults with ID to initiate physical activity. The current study was designed to provide insight to why older adults, with and without intellectual disabilities, are not participating in sufficient amounts of physical activity to receive health benefits. The study provides valuable information about physical activity patterns of the older population with intellectual disabilities and information for future physical activity interventions specific to this aging population. The purpose of this study was to compare the roles of self-efficacy (SE) and social support (SS), as outlined in Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1987), on the physical activity (PA) behavior of older adults with and without intellectual disabilities. Methods: A total of 119 participants, older adults with ID (n= 35), younger adults with ID (n= 49), and older adults without ID (n= 34), completed validated scales, SS and SE for Physical Activity Participation (Peterson et al., 2009), and wore a pedometer (OmronHJ-720ITC) and accelerometer (GT3X-ActiGraph) for seven consecutive days. Analysis/ Results: Correlation coefficients and one-way ANOVAs with Bonferroni technique were calculated to examine the relationships and differences between study variables. Physical activity level was significantly different among groups for both pedometer walking steps (F= 5.547, p
