-
Amotivation
- total lack of intrinsic or extrinsic motivation
-
External regulation
- Engages in behavior to avoid punishment, not for personal satisfaction
-
Introjected regulation:
- exercise as means to valued end (e.g. correct form during training internalized to please trainer)
-
Identified regulation
- Sees PT’s instructions as beneficial
- Follows PT’s leadership instead of initiating behavior
-
Integrated regulation
- Client has internalized value of exercise behavior
- Engages in it freely
- client and PT agree on goals
Why do people procrastinate in fitness and what should PT do?

- What are relaxation exercises for mental imagery and what is our default state when sitting?
- Describe example of progressive relaxation and what it teaches
- Relaxation Exercise for mental imagery = mental conditioning exercises, must be performed in a relaxed state. Often our muscles are tense even when we are sitting.
- Progressive relaxation = individual tightens each muscle group, one at a time and follows contraction with full relaxation Teaches to differentiate between sensations of muscle tension/relaxation
What are 3 objectives of medical/health appraisal
