Book excerpt: In our sedentary society, physical inactivity has become the biggest public health concern of the 21st century. In addition to physical health promotion, physical activity has been associated with a number of positive psychological and social outcomes. Psychologists are well positioned to provide physical activity counseling and may have ethical obligations to address physical activity with their clients. Training the next generation of psychologists about the role of physical activity and health is critical to ensure best practices in graduate education. Researchers have cited insufficient training as a barrier to integrating physical activity into clinical work, yet little is known about effective training in physical activity counseling. One way to address these barriers is to employ an online-based training program allowing greater accessibility for doctoral psychology students across the United States. This exploratory study evaluated the effectiveness of a constructivist online interactive intervention, and compared it with a more traditional online content intervention and a control group, for enhancing doctoral psychology students' self-efficacy in using physical activity counseling. It was hypothesized that 1) online interactive intervention would enhance self-efficacy, knowledge, and use of physical activity counseling compared to the online content intervention; and 2) both of these active treatments would yield improvements in physical activity counseling outcomes (e.g. self-efficacy, knowledge of health benefits of exercise, practice of physical activity counseling with clients, and personal level physical activity) compared with a control group. Results partially supported the original hypotheses. Mixed ANCOVA analyses indicated that participants in both intervention groups showed more self-efficacy at post-intervention assessment compared to their control group peers but the interactive intervention was not more effective than the content based intervention. Participants in the intervention groups demonstrated more targeted knowledge of physical activity counseling at post-intervention compared to their control group peers. No differences were found in the practice of physical activity counseling with clients post intervention. This study indicates there may be promise in using online platforms for enhancing physical activity counseling self-efficacy among psychologists in training. Future studies should continue to assess the effectiveness of physical activity counseling and refine training interventions to examine the effects of such interventions among the next generation of psychologists.

This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is overwhelming evidence linking increased physical activity with positive changes in cognitive functioning and brain health. Much of what we know about these interrelationships comes from aerobic exercise training studies with older adults and children. This literature has paved the way for the neuroscientific investigation of mechanisms responsible for exercise-induced cognitive and brain health enhancement, a list that ranges from molecular changes to systemic changes in executive control and neural connectivity. A new perspective has also emerged that aims to understand executive control processes that may underlie the regulation of health behavior. In accordance with this view, physical activity falls under the umbrella of health behaviors that require a substantial amount of executive control. Executive control is a limited resource, and the aging process depletes this resource. People who regularly exercise are said to have higher “self-regulatory control”—planning, goal-shielding and impulse control—than irregular exercisers. The successful maintenance of physical activity participation in lieu of daily cognitive stressors likely reflects an adaptive resistance to control failures. Indeed, a handful of studies have shown the relationship between greater executive control and subsequently higher levels of physical activity. However, little is known about the neural correlates of physical activity adherence or sedentary behavior, with the view that neurocognitive factors have an antecedent and reciprocal influence on these behaviors. No research has focused on the brain networks responsible for the self-regulation of physical activity, which likely overlaps with structures and functions playing critical roles in the regulation of other health behaviors. Interdisciplinary investigations are needed to explain the extent to which physical activity self-regulation and self-regulatory failure is dependent upon, or under the influence of executive control processes and brain networks. Understanding the degree to which self-regulatory resources may be enhanced, restored, and trained will have enormous implications for basic science and applied fields. It is also of great import to understand whether or not physical activity self-regulation is a domain-specific behavior associated with specific brain networks, or to determine the extent to which regulatory network-sharing occurs. The aim of this Frontiers Research Topic is to curate contributions from researchers in social and cognitive neurosciences and related fields, whose work involves the study of physical activity behavior, self-regulation and executive control. For this Research Topic, we, therefore, solicit reviews, original research articles, and opinion papers, which draw theoretical or empirical connections related to sustained physical activity behavior, self-regulatory strategies, cognitive performance, and brain structure and function. While focusing on work in the neurosciences, this Research Topic also welcomes contributions in the form of behavioral studies, psychophysiological investigations, and methodological innovations. This Frontiers Research Topic will carve out new directions for the fields of exercise, cognitive, and social neurosciences. We hope you will consider submitting your work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-efficacy is one of the largest predictors of behavior, when related to exercise studies have shown that self-efficacy can predict drop-out rates within six months of being an exercise program (Middelkamp, et. al., 2016; Sallis, et. al., 1988). College students have the biggest decline in physical activity when compared to other stages of life (Buckworth, 2001; Grubbs & Carter, 2002). University recreation centers provide group fitness classes for students to promote physical activity. Minimal research has been done to show the impact that group fitness classes has on student life. This study aimed to show the impact of group fitness classes on self-efficacy levels, when compared to independent exercise groups. It had a pre-post test design and assessed change in self-efficacy via survey over the course of the spring semester at the University of Arkansas. A total of 112 students completed the survey from pre to post test. Overall changes in self-efficacy were determined using a t-test to compare means from pre to post test. ANOVA was used to determine significance levels for several confounding variables: physical activity level, physical activity enjoyment, and start of physical activity participation. No significant changes were found in the change in self-efficacy overtime (p

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to test empirically the following theoretical hypotheses regarding the adherence to and maintenance of exercise behavior purported by Lees & Dygdon (1988): 1) that by providing tacts, or verbal representations of relationships between proprioceptive feedback from muscles and long-term health and appearance benefits, the tacts would serve to establish the proprioceptive feedback as conditioned reinforcers, and this would enhance adherence to exercise, 2) that training in the scheduling of daily activities, such that opportunities for exercise did not compete with opportunities for behaviors that produce more potent reinforcers, would enhance exercise adherence; and 3) that combining the first two hypotheses would enhance exercise adherence beyond the effects realized in either of those two interventions administered individually. The author had originally proposed a Fall Phase post-test-only group design; however, extenuating circumstances led to the loss of subjects and data. Therefore, she ran Fall and Spring Phases and employed eleven replications of an AB design. Subjects recruited from a Chicago-area health and fitness facility included six women and five men ranging from 22 to 36 years of age. The Exercise Information Questionnaire served as a baseline measure of self-reported estimates of past and current exercise behavior. The study randomly assigned subjects to one of four intervention groups: Exercise Provisions Information (EPI) (attention control group); Scheduling Proficiency Information (SPI); Establishing Conditioned Reinforcers (ECR); and SPI plus ECR. Posttreatment phase data derived from either the Retrospective Exercise Record (RER) for Fall Phase subjects, or the Exercise Record (ER) for Spring Phase subjects. Results did not support the above hypotheses: EPI subjects were more likely to adhere to exercise, while SPI plus ECR subjects were more likely to drop out. Results and discussion focus on incidental circumstances that critically affected intervention sessions, pre- and post-treatment changes among individual subjects, pre- and post-treatment changes between subjects in each intervention group, and differences between subjects who returned the RERs, ERs, or no post-treatment data. Suggestions for future replications of this study address the difficulties that occurred not accounted for in the original proposal.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An essential component to creating a successful worksite wellness program may be through the integration of social support. Research has shown that social support, when given in a group session can assist individual's participation in healthy behavior. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect a social support/group exercise program has on exercise self-efficacy and exercise adherence in adults at the worksite. This sample of convenience consisted of 35 adults (4 males, 31 females) ages 28-59 years, with no pre-existing health problems or clearance from their physician. Participants were stratified into groups based on fitness level and sex. The control group participated in the program independently, while the intervention group attended a weekly 1-hour session including group exercise and social support in addition to the suggested program for the duration of 12-weeks. An individual's exercise self-efficacy was examined through the Exercise Confidence Survey and social support examined using the Social Support and Exercise Survey. Participants logged physical activity weekly using the program booklet. Physical activity logs were turned in using the 7-day activity recall questionnaire each week. A paired samples t-test was used to determine the differences between the means of the intervention and control groups from week 1 to week twelve examining exercise self-efficacy and social support. A repeated measures one-way ANOVA was used to examine hours spent in physical activity at weeks 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12. In summary, there was a within groups significant increase in friends and family social support for those participating in the intervention and a significant increase in family social support for the control. The intervention group demonstrated a significant increase in physical activity between week one and 12"--Document.
