barriers/obstacles from day to day
if a friend shares stories of why they arent able to exercise
modify their thoughts and behaviours
trends in the gym
finals, xmas, beginning of semesters

exercise - 4
not PA
form of leisure PA undertaken to achieve an outcome - improved appearance, reduced stress, fun
planned, structured, repetitive
inintentional movement to improve or maintain physical fitness or health - gym, non sport, weight lifting
PA - 3
all bodily movements that cause increases in physical exertion beyond that which occurs during normal activities of daily living
any body movement that requires energy expenditure beyond what you would normally do just to exist at rest
occupational or household PA - esp seniors - walking your dog, stairs, natural activities
exercise psychology - 4
psychology +exercise = exercise psychology
application of psychological principles to the promotion and maintenance of exercise
psychological antecedent that facilitates/hinders exercise
psychological and emotional outcomes of exercise - mental state, depression
why study exercise psych -5
- participation in regular PA is low
- exercise adoption - initiatives
- exercise adherence - people get busy
- reduce neg psychological/emotional states
- produce pos psychological/emotion states - more likely to be active,/continue, sense of belonging
main objective of exercise psych
change peoples perceptions about exercise - to let them know that the benefits outweigh the barriers
6 sample areas of research
body related emotions - shame, guilt, pride
interventions on health and QOL - disability, spinal cord injury, cancer survivors

categories of assessment
how researchers meausre PA
subjective/self-report
objective/technical
observation
subjective/self report assessment
benefit - 2
weakness - 2
examples - 4
most widely used measure to assess PA
cost effective and easy to use
subject to social desirability bias and poor memory
interviews, questionnaires (intensity), daily activity logs, PA recall (longer you wait harder to get)
objective/technological assessment
benefits - 2
weakness - 2
examples - 4
mechanical and electronic devices used to record PA behaviour intensity and duration (HR, distance run), energy expenditure (kcal) somewhat complex to use and expensive HR monitor(intensity), pedometer(forward motion steps - walking and running), accelerometer (acceleration - good for research - captures all movement), GPS - distance, speed, pace (E.g. walking/running)
observation - 2
benefit
weakness - 3
direct - viewing exercise in person/live
indirect - viewing a recorded behaviour
documentation of specific activities in real time - verify
potential for atypical behaviour from exerciser
observer makes subjective judgements about other ppl
s behaviour - interpretation of how hard they think you are working
time consuming
Why are reported PA patterns error prone? - 3
Variation in definitions of regular, vigorous, minimal, recommended, and sufficient activity
self-reported data
major variation from accelerometer data - usually overestimated except certain activities (e.g. swimming)
% of adult pop engaging in sufficient levels of PA - 2
canada - us, australia, england
50-70% industrialized countries’ residents do not achieve the recommended amount of PA
% of canadian pop engaged in PA by age - 3
low intensity activity increases as we get older
high intensity activity decreases as we get older
** PA levels decreases across the lifespan
PA levels by gender (england) - 4
men - historically more active than females - walking, sports
women - heavy house work
mena and women prefer diff types of PA
** gender diff exists for amt and type of PA

** higher income, higher mod or vig PA levels
active but not guidelines, - no diff
education 2
% of US pop engaged in PA by education
- high ed, higher PA
consequences of PA and inactivity - 3
physicall active ppl outlive their sedentary counterparts - lower overall all-cause mortality rates
ind who improve their physical fitness levels experience a dramatic reduction in mortality risk
many conditions can be directly and positively impacted by PA - coronary heart disease
heart attack
diabetes
high BP
general misconceptions for special pop
all ppl with a disbility or disease are insufficiently healthy to participate in exercise
do not reap any benefits from exercise
Special pop and PA
far less active than the general pop
at increased risk for secondary physical and psychological health problems - exercise is now presribed as rehab
sedentary behaviour - 3

is sedentary behaviour physical inactivity
no
physical inactivity - 2

transportation
leisure time
work place
how to change transportations - 2
ind level - active transportation, public transportation, park further away/ get off the bus early
community - infrastructure to support active transportation - bike to a football game - but just becuase you build it doesnt mean people will use them
how to change leisure time -2

alberta centre for active living
- increasing PA and decreasing sedentary B in the work place
increasing PA and decreasing sedentary behavior in the workplace executive summary
- systematic review of workplace intervention that focus on 47 studies to increase PA, reduce sedentary behaviour and increase
sedentary behaviour interventions at the workplace because people spend most of their waking ours there
what are 4 workplace interventions
challenges and competitions
info and counselling
organizational culture and norms
access and the physical envrironment
challenges and competitions - 2
create pedometer challenges to increase steps/day and make it visible - display
provide PA and sitting logs
information and counseling - 3
provide ind or gp counselling with an expert - personal trainer or health promotion facilitator
share internet based tools and resources
display print media
organizational culture and notms - 2
office environment that supports active breaks - stair walking/walking meetings
encourage active and frequent breaks from sitting - hourly prompts to stand up, stretch or walk
access and the physical environment - 4
rearrange the workplace layout (e.g. move printers farther away from workstations)
modify work stations - sit to stand desks and treamill, cycling or stepping workstations
access to exercise facility - free gym membership and shower
provide secure bike racks
Whats the most effective intervention category for the workplace
access and the physical environment - 86% of studies found significant results
- sit to stand workstations
- most effective adjustment to physical environment
- reduced daily mins of sitting time
- increased the number of sit stand transitions
most effective health promotion intervention
multi faceted - all intervention should contain an education component
knowledge and skills to reduce prolonged bouts of sitting
recommendations for workplace intervention - 3
hourly promprs reminding employees to stand up and move
monitor sitting time - log books, websites, devices
coporate policies - standing desk, stretches, walking meetings
How to design sedentary behaviour intervention
identify contexts in which sedentary behaviour commonly occur
contexts for adult sedentary behaviour
workplace
occupational sedentary behaviour
contexts for children and youth sedentary behaviour
classroom and leisure time
rationale for sui and prapaveissis - health action process approach to reduce student sedentary behaviour - 3
high frequency of breaskf from sitting - health risk reductions
2-4 mins in length - for every 20-30 min of sitting
breaking up existing sedentary behaviour into short bouts more frequently rather than trying to displace large amts of sedentary time
