Social-Cognitive Theories to Explain Physical Activity
Rodrigues, Filipe; Figueiredo, Nuno; Jacinto, Miguel; Monteiro, Diogo; Morouço, PedroDespite the widely recognized health benefits of physical activity, participation in regular physical activity falls far short of the Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030. More than half of the population does not reach current recommendations, and around one-fourth is not sufficiently active at all. Understanding social-cognitive theories may aid in the creation of interventions to improve long-te...

Using Psychometric Testing Procedures for Scale Validity, Reliability, and Inva...
Rodrigues, Filipe; Morouço, Pedro; Antunes, Raul; Monteiro, Diogo; Jacinto, Miguel; Figueiredo, Nuno; Santos, Filipe; Bastos, Vasco; Teixeira, DiogoThis study investigated the psychometric nature of preference for and tolerance of exercise intensity in physical activity. It initially re-examined the Preference for and Tolerance of the Intensity of Exercise Questionnaire (PRETIE-Q) among Portuguese exercisers, looking at its applicability to different exercise activities and exercise experiences. Then, to investigate the applicability of the measure in diff...
Examining the neighborhood environment walkability scale in a sample of college...
Figueiredo, Nuno; Monteiro, Diogo; Rodrigues, FilipeBackground: Despite the known benefits of physical activity (PA), physical inactivity levels have grown over the last years. Since most individuals in developed countries rely on their private cars for transportation, the promotion of active modes of transport, such as walking or cycling, is a possible and viable strategy to encourage active living among workers and students. Evidence supports the important rol...
A Comprehensive Review and Bifactor Modeling Analysis of the Brief COPE
Rodrigues, Filipe; Figueiredo, Nuno; Rodrigues, José; Ferreira, Regina; Hernández-Mendo, Antonio; Monteiro, DiogoThe Brief COPE is a measure of coping strategies that contains 14 factors. The purpose of this research was twofold: (a) examine the psychometric proprieties of the Brief Cope in previous studies; and (b) perform Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) with second-order model and bifactor model specifications that could be used to assess the best model that represents the 14 coping strategies inherent to the instrum...
The relationship between past exercise behavior and future exercise adherence: ...
Rodrigues, Filipe; Figueiredo, Nuno; Teixeira, Diogo Santos; Cid, Luis; Monteiro, DiogoThe present study explored the mediation role of past exercise adherence, self-reported frequency and intentions in the association between past experience and future exercise adherence. In total, 431 exercisers (female = 216; male = 215) aged 18 and 64 years, engaged in fitness activities such as group fitness classes and resistance training, were included in the analysis. Serial mediation procedures were empl...
