This book was released on 2001 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, a national trend is the discontinuance of the physical education requirement in post-secondary education. If the physical activity requirement is to survive there needs to be demonstrated changes in the knowledge, attitudes, and physical activity of students. Limited evidence shows that Conceptual Fitness and Wellness courses affect exercise behavior. The purpose of this study was to determine if the Conceptual Fitness and Wellness course changed students exercise behavior as measured by the Exercise Stages of Change questionnaire. A secondary purpose was to identify the Processes of Change, and whether males or females differed in their use of these processes. Three hundred seventy-two undergraduate students were administered the Exercise Stages of Change, Exercise Processes of Change, and 7-Day Physical Activity Recall Questionnaires. Analyses of variance and t-tests showed a significant decline (p=0.001) in students' sedentary exercise behavior for subjects in the contemplation stage. Additionally, a significant increase in students' exercise participation (p=0.006) occurred for subjects in the Action stage. By the end of this study 68% of the sample reported engaging in moderate physical activity three or more times a week. Males and females both reported an increase in the number of minutes engaged in moderate physical activity. However, females used the experiential and behavioral processes more than males. The results suggest that the need for Conceptual Fitness and Wellness Courses in the post-secondary curriculum is critical to enhancing positive changes in students' exercise behavior.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research has shown a significant decrease in physical activity (PA) during college, therefore putting students at a higher risk of health complications (Calestine et al., 2017). Gourlan and colleagues (2019) suggested that a two-step intervention that first targets the motivational factors to increase PA intentions and then volitional factors to translate intention to PA behavior may be effective at increasing PA intention and behavior. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of this two-step intervention among college students. It also aimed to integrate a participant's desire to change using the Transtheoretical Model (DiClemente et al., 1991) and measure PA objectively. Sixty-three college students were recruited from a lifetime physical activity walking course and assigned to one of four conditions: motivational intervention only, volitional intervention only, combined motivational plus volitional intervention, or control. Subjective PA and the Theory of Planned Behavior constructs (i.e., attitude, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and intention) were measured at baseline, mid-intervention (week 4), and post-intervention (week 7). There was no significant main effect of condition on intention or PA behavior. A significant main effect of time on intention emerged, revealing a decrease in intention from baseline to post-intervention. The time by condition interaction effect was not significant. Finally, there were no significant differences in intention or PA behavior between participants in the contemplation or preparation stage of the transtheoretical model, compared to those in the precontemplation, action, or maintenance stages. These results suggest that a two-step intervention is unsuccessful at increasing exercise intention and behavior in college students. Limitations of this study include a small sample size and participants meeting PA recommendations at baseline, limiting potential effects of the interventions. Further research investigating the efficacy of the two-step intervention is warranted in a sedentary population.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was a cross-cultural comparative study that examined college students' physical activity behavior in both the United States and the Republic of China on the basis of the full Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change. Although current investigations do support TTM as a powerful model of physical activity behavior change, there remains a need for examining other variables and constructs relative to those proposed in TTM. From a health promotion planning or intervention perspective, the integration of some of the PRECEDE and PROCEED (PRE) constructs might provide unique insight into physical activity behavior. A total of 1,132 participants were recruited into this study, with 531 coming from Taiwan and 601 coming from the U.S. In spite of similar recruitment techniques, demographical data indicated that the participants from Taiwan were older and had lower BMIs than those in the United States. They also spent more time sifting in comparison to their American counterparts. The scales and subscales used in this study were completed in the participants' native language (i.e., Chinese or English). Prior to their use in this study, all of the questionnaires were translated into Chinese using a multiple-step methodology, including back translation, and they were found to have reasonable internal consistency. Results showed that the best predictive model for the stages of physical activity behavior change was based on concomitants coming from both TTM and PRE together. Specifically, the variables that contributed the most to the participants' stage of change for physical activity classification in a stepwise analysis, in order of entry, were the behavioral processes of change, predisposing, nationality, cognitive processes of change, and gender. The overall classification accuracy was 49%. Other than the maintenance stage (66%-68% classification accuracy), this study found that the preparation stage (65.5%- 70.4% classification accuracy) was especially reliably predicted, which suggests that preparation stage might be less transitory than previous thought. Furthermore, the concurrent validity of the stage of change measure used in this study was significantly related to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). This is the first application of IPAQ in Taiwan and the results of the present study support its continued use as a physical activity measure within a new country. As nationality was a key concomitant of stage of change classification, the present study suggests there may be a need for more non-Eurocentric research with TTM before concluding that behavior change strategies and techniques hypothesized in the model (e.g., behavioral and cognitive processes of change decisional balance, and self-efficacy) are fully generalizable in physical activity behavior change interventions using mixed culture samples. Likewise, there may be some unique contributions to such interventions by incorporating constructs from a broader health promotion planning or intervention model.
