Gadberry and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using Social Cognitive Theory, Social Identity Theory, and Source Credibility, this study examined the role of instructor source credibility as related to exercise adherence. A one-time survey was given to participants of an eight-week exercise program. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was used to test hypotheses. Results indicate that perceived expertise was a significant predictor of intentions to adhere to class. Additionally, this study shows how Social Identity Theory can predict lower levels of identification in an exercise context. The scales used to text source credibility were shown to be accurate measures of perceived instructor expertise, likeability, and enthusiasm. Thus, these scales can be used to examine this subject in later studies.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this pilot study was to examine exercise adherence in persons with Type 2 diabetes and how the stages of change in exercise are related to metabolic control. A sample of 28 persons with Type 2 diabetes in ages ranging from 53 to 77 (16 males and 12 females), was studied using the Transtheoretical Theory, of Change. Surveys on the Stages of Change, Processes of Change and Self-Efficacy, developed by Marcus, Rossi, Selby, Niaura, & Abrams (1992) were mailed to participants and followed-up with a telephone Stanford 7-day activity, recall. Subjects were assigned a stage of exercise adoption (Precomtemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance) based on answers to questions in the mailed survey. Metabolic control was related to stage of exercise adoption. Reported physical activity, ' also were related to stages of change in exercise. The telephone survey was used as an internal validation of the mailed self-report. Processes of change in exercise and self-efficacy also were explored in relation to stages of change. Distribution among the stages was unusual. Half of the participants fell into the highest stage of exercise adoption (maintenance). Marcus, Rossi, et al. (1992) only found 22% of their sample to be in this stage. Also two of the stages (precontemplation and action) only had one individual and therefore the stages were collapsed into three stages combining precontemplation with contemplation and action with maintenance for many statistical calculations. In addition, for some calculations, the group was divided into exercisers (Stages 1,2, & 3) and non-exercisers (Stages 4 & 5), The most frequent type of exercise reported was walking. Thirty-five percent chose walking alone and an additional 60% who chose walking or treadmill as part of their fitness program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its second edition, 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. Thoroughly revised, the new edition offers readers: two new chapters covering Excusercise and Mood Alteration’s link to exercise; fully updated sections on current research and theoretical bases for understanding and promoting physical activity behavior; interventions 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. An essential read that covers a variety of critical topics in applied exercise psychology, it brings often overlooked issues to the attention of practitioners to promote not only evidence-based practice but also responsible ethics and referral. The collection is a key reference for up-to-date research findings, relevant field experiences, and applied implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As modern lifestyles offer ever more opportunities for a sedentary existence, physical activity has become, for many, a marginal aspect of life. Too little physical activity is linked to common, often serious, health problems, and although this link is now widely acknowledged, levels of sedentary behaviour continue to increase throughout western society. Psychology of Physical Activity, 2nd Edition addresses this concern, bringing together a wealth of up to date information about exercise behaviour including: motivation and psychological factors associated with activity or inactivity the psychological outcomes of exercising including the 'feel–good' factor understanding specific clinical populations interventions and applied practice in the psychology of physical activity current trends and future directions in research and practice. Updated to reflect new findings and research directions, this new edition includes full textbook features, and is accompanied by a dedicated website providing lecturers and students with extensive support materials, including powerpoint slides and student MCQ's.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transtheoretical model of Prochaska and DiClemente (1982) was developed to explain when and how individuals change their behavior, as well as which factors influence these changes. According to this model, individuals progress through the five stages of change (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance) during the process of changing their behavior. The validity of physical activity stages of change instruments has been supported by comparisons with measures of self-efficacy, perceived barriers and benefits, and self-reported participation in physical activity. Stages of change measures have not been validated with objective measures of physical activity. The goal of the current study was to simultaneously evaluate the validity of three commonly used physical activity stage instruments using both a self-report and an objective measure of physical activity. Measures of self-efficacy, barriers, and benefits were also examined. Seventy-two participants completed all measures. Participants wore a small electronic activity monitor (Tritrac accelerometer) during waking hours for one week and completed a semi-structured interview (PAR) to assess their participation in physical activity during the same period of time. The Tritrac and PAR provided scores reflecting a participant's daily minutes in moderate to vigorous physical activity. Consistent with past research, Self-Efficacy, Barriers, Benefits, PAR, and Tritrac data were examined in separate one-way ANOVAs for each stage instrument. Thirteen of the fifteen ANOVAs were significant following a Bonferroni adjustment of the alpha $(p
