Esta obra confronta esse paradigma, propondo uma abordagem integradora e contemporânea sobre a ciência da mudança comportamental aplicada ao exercício. Partindo das limitações dos modelos sociocognitivos clássicos na explicação da "lacuna intenção comportamento", ...

Muscle Strength Matters Most for Risk of Falling Apart from Body Mass Index in ...

The primary objective of this study was to analyze the moderating effect of body mass index (BMI) on the association between lower body strength, agility, and dynamic balance, considering the mediating influence of lower body flexibility and aerobic endurance in community-dwelling older adults. This study included a sample of 607 community-dwelling older adults (female = 443; male = 164) aged between 60 and 79 ...

Set to fail: affective dynamics in a resistance training program designed to re...

Grounded in hedonic assumptions, evidence suggests that people tend to engage in activities they consider pleasurable and enjoyable, while trying to avoid pain and displeasure. This suggests that the dynamic between positive and negative affect can influence current behavior and the intentions to continue perform ing. Regarding resistance training (RT), research focusing on how to promote a better affective res...

Assessment in sport and exercise psychology: considerations and recommendations...

Translating and validating measurement instruments in sport and exercise psychology is not an easy task. Rather, it is a task that requires effort and time, for the process is not limited to a simple translation to translate words from one language to another, just in order to make valid and reliable measure. All researchers should be aware that the only proper way is to adopt rigorous and robust methodologies ...

The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (Paces) as a Two-Dimensional Scale: Explo...

The current study aims to examine the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) as a two-dimensional scale assessing two correlated but distinct dimensions of enjoyment. In total, 277 individuals (female = 108) aged between 18 and 53 years (M = 35.66; SD = 7.42) participated in the study. The unidimensional model solution displayed good fit. However, the exploratory structural equation modelling specification c...

The Co-Occurrence of Satisfaction and Frustration of Basic Psychological Needs ...

Although the relationship between both need frustration and, particularly, need satisfaction and different motivational regulations for exercise has been widely examined in the literature, little is known about the co-occurrence of both need satisfaction and need frustration in the exercise context. Grounded in self-determination theory, the present study aimed to examine the effects of both need satisfaction a...
