A Comparison of Exercise Beliefs to Same-day Exercise Behavior

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Exercise

In brief

Regular aerobic exercise is associated with reduced risk of multiple cancers, yet the majority of adults are inactive. Across health behavior theories, the expectations people have about the outcomes of exercise influence their decision to exercise. Extending prior work, a fine-grained analysis of the relationship between perceived outcomes and daily exercise behavior will be achieved using ecological momentary assessment methods to measure perceived outcomes, and accelerometry to measure exercise objectively. The results of this research will inform exercise promotion efforts by determining how perceptions and temporal factors interact to predict exercise behavior.
