The contribution of psychological theory to the understanding: applications to exercise

Year: 1997

Type: article

Abstract: Human behaviour is still mysterious. Why do we do what we do? Why do we sometimes not do what we want to do? Why is it so difficult to change habits? The purpose of this paper is to examine how general psychological theory of health behaviour change and maintenance contribute to the understanding of initiating and maintaining exercise behaviour. Some popular models to identify what psychological factors influence our health behaviour and some models that try to describe the processes of health behaviour change and maintainance are examined and discussed in relation to exercise behaviour.
