Understanding action control of resistance training among adults

Ryan E. Rhodes et al.

Summary: The study found that intention formation and translation are important factors in influencing RT behavior, and behavior change techniques targeting reflective, regulatory, and reflexive processes appear necessary. Considerations of factors such as age and sex should also be taken into account to maximize the potential effectiveness of RT interventions.

Moving Forward: Understanding Correlates of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour during COVID-19-An Integrative Review and Socioecological Approach

Rachel L. Knight et al.

Summary: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adult physical activity and sedentary behavior is complex and involves various factors such as individual health, psychological well-being, social support, environmental resources, and policy regulations. Transitioning into a new normal requires understanding behavior mechanisms to effectively combat physical inactivity, with a focus on improving psychological capability to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior, while also maximizing opportunities for physical activity on a physical level.

Multi-Process Action Control in Physical Activity: A Primer

Ryan E. Rhodes

Summary: The article provides an overview of the multi-process action control (M-PAC) framework, which suggests three layered processes from the formation of an intention to sustained physical activity action control. The intention-behavior discordance is attributed to strategic challenges in goal pursuit and automatic tendencies. Results from observational and preliminary experimental studies generally support the proposed M-PAC framework, but future research is needed to explore the temporal dynamics between reflexive and regulatory constructs.

Promoting physical activity during the COVID-19 lockdown in Australia: The roles of psychological predictors and commercial physical activity apps

Jasmine M. Petersen et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of psychological and mental health on physical activity during the COVID-19 lockdown, finding that self-efficacy, social support, and app use were important predictors of physical activity engagement. Therefore, innovative approaches to support engagement in physical activity during a pandemic need to strengthen the role of these factors. Additionally, commercial physical activity apps demonstrate potential in mitigating reductions in physical activity during a pandemic.

Longitudinal changes in physical activity during and after the first national lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England

Feifei Bu et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown reduced physical activity at early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is substantial heterogeneity in longitudinal changes in physical activity, with a significant proportion showing persistent physical inactivity or decreasing physical activity. Various factors such as age, gender, education, and income were found to be associated with the class membership of physical activity trajectories. Efforts are needed to promote physical activity during the pandemic and beyond, given the well-established link between physical activity and health.

Predicting Physical Distancing in the Context of COVID-19: A Test of the Extended Parallel Process Model Among Canadian Adults

Alexander Lithopoulos et al.

Summary: This study tested the EPPM in the context of COVID-19 among Canadians and found that older adults, females, and more educated individuals generally had higher intentions, engaged in more physical distancing, and had lower fear control responses. People with high scores for both perceived threat and efficacy had the most positive profile. Perceived efficacy was a particularly strong predictor in analyses.

John C. Spence et al.

Summary: This study found that while most UK adults maintained or increased their levels of physical activity during the COVID-19 lockdown, the majority did not meet recommended guidelines. Reflective processes and physical opportunity were identified as the primary predictors of changes in physical activity.

Changes in physical activity and sedentary behaviours from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown: a systematic review

Stephanie Stockwell et al.

Summary: The review found that during the COVID-19 lockdowns, most studies reported decreases in physical activity and increases in sedentary behaviours across different populations. Therefore, public health strategies should focus on creating and implementing interventions that promote safe physical activity and reduce sedentary behaviour in case of future lockdowns.
