Effects of mail-mediated, stage-matched exercise behavior change strategies on female adults' leisure-time exercise behavior.

摘要: This study compared three forms of mail-mediated exercise behavior change strategies on the weekly leisure time individuals at different stages (SOE). Subjects were 113 healthy females, 22 to 50 years old (M = 36.9). After being classified by SOE, subjects randomly assigned receive one treatments: lifestyle packet (LEP); structured (SEP); or control packet. Packets mailed their worksite. 31-days, 108 (95%) responded a query about previous week's leisure-time behavior. A 3 (SOE) x3 (Exercise group) x2 (Time) REANOVA revealed main effects for SOE (p < 0.0001), group 0.05), and 0.0001). No significant interactions observed. Post-hoc testing showed that those in action/maintenance differed from preparation precontemplation/contemplation 0.01), LEP reported significantly more post-intervention controls 0.01). These findings suggest was most effective strategy encouraging exercise. Future research should be directed corroborating these determining potential long-term value this comparison traditional strategies.
