Lab 8A The Physical Activity Adherence Questionnaire

Name Section Date

Purpose: To help you understand the factors that influence physical activity adherence and to see which factors you might change to improve your chances of achieving the action or maintenance level for physical activity

Procedures

1. The factors that predispose, enable, and reinforce adherence to physically active living are listed below. Read each statement. Place an X in the circle under the most appropriate response for you: very true, somewhat true, or not true.

2. When you have answered all of the items, determine a score by summing the four numbers for each type of fac-tor. Then sum the three scores (predisposing, enabling, reinforcing) to get your total score.

3. Record your scores in the Results section and answer the questions in the Conclusions and Implications section.

Lab 8B Planning and Logging Participation in Active Aerobics, Sports, and Recreation

Name Section Date

Purpose: To set 1-week lifestyle physical activity goals, to prepare a plan, and to self-monitor progress in your 1-week active aerobics, active sports, and active recreation plan

Procedures

1. Use the planning calendar (Chart 1) to schedule several physical activity sessions for the week. Plan at least three sessions, but be realistic in your plan. Schedule activities that you enjoy and that you can perform conveniently. You may mix different activities each day for variety. Indicate the days you expect to do them and the length of time you expect to do the activity.

2. Keep a 1-week log of your actual participation using Chart 2. If possible, keep the log with you during the day. Anytime you perform an activity for 10 minutes, check one of the boxes. If you perform more than 10 minutes of activity in one session, check additional 10-minute blocks. If you cannot keep the log with you, fi ll in the log at the end of the day. If you choose to keep a log for more than 1 week, make copies of the extra log sheet.

3. Log only those activities for which you meet the target zone for cardiovascular fi tness. Remember that 5 or 6, rather than 7, days a week of more vigorous activity is recommended. You can create a log book using several log sheets.

4. Sum the total number of minutes for each day by tallying the number of activity blocks. 5. Answer the questions in the Results section.

Results Yes No

Did you do 20 or more minutes at each session?

Did you do 20 or more minutes of activity on at least 3 days?

Conclusions and Implications

1. Do you feel that you will use active aerobics, active sports, or active recreation as a regular part of your lifetime physical activity plan, either now or in the future? Use several sentences to explain your answer.
