Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among exercise habit strength, self-control, and the valuation of physical effort with vigorous exercise participation in adults who were participating in an 8-week exercise program. Participants engaged in the Mindless to Mindful (M2M) program, an 8-week behavior-change intervention integrating tailored coaching and self-regulation strategies. The average vigorous exercise was 4.2 hr (SD = 2.17) per week. There was a significant decrease in fat mass (t(124) = -16.306, p < .001, d = -1.458) and an increase in exercise habit strength (t(124) = 5.565, p < .001, d = 0.498), self-control (t(124) = 3.618, p < .001, d = 0.324), and the relative valuation of physical effort (t(124) = 2.837, p = .003, d = 0.254) from pre- to post-M2M. These findings align with TEMPA and add novelty by suggesting that approaching and avoiding physical effort can be modified through a self-regulation intervention.
本研究的目的是考察参加8周运动计划的成年人的运动习惯、强度、自我控制和体力劳动评价与剧烈运动参与之间的关系。参与者参与了“从无意识到有意识”(M2M)项目,这是一项为期8周的行为改变干预,包括量身定制的指导和自我调节策略。剧烈运动的平均时间为每周4.2小时(SD = 2.17)。脂肪量(t(124) = -16.306, p < 0.001, d = -1.458)、运动习惯强度(t(124) = 5.565, p < 0.001, d = 0.498)、自我控制能力(t(124) = 3.618, p < 0.001, d = 0.324)、体力消耗相对评价(t(124) = 2.837, p = 0.003, d = 0.254)均较m2m前后显著降低。这些发现与TEMPA一致,并增加了新颖性,表明接近和避免体力劳动可以通过自我调节干预来改变。
