STAGE-BASED AND OTHER MODELS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Moving from thinking to doing
Aims • To outline the popular ‘Transtheoretical Model’ approach to physical activity decision-making • Cover the ‘natural history’ model of exercise proposed by Sallis and Hovell (1990) • Outline the relapse prevention model • Describe the lifespan interaction model
The Transtheoretical Model of Health Behaviour Change • Core constructs: • Stages of change • Processes of change • Decisional balance (pros and cons) • Self-efficacy
The Transtheoretical Model WHEN HOW Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation Action Maintenance Self-Efficacy Decisional Balance Processes of change
Precontemplation • Physically active? NO • Intention to be active? NO
Contemplation • Physically active? NO • Intention to be active? YES
Preparation • Physically active? Yes, but not at criterion level • Intention to be active? YES
Action • Physically active? YES (less than 6 months) • Intention to be active? YES
Maintenance • Physically active? YES (more than 6 months) • Intention to be active? YES
Prevalence estimates for stages by different levels of physical activity (Marshall & Biddle, 2001)
Prevalence estimates for stages across four countries (Marshall & Biddle, 2001)
Maintenance Preparation Contemplation Precontemplation Stages are thought to be cyclical Action
Processes of change • "the cognitive, affective, and behavioral strategies and techniques people use as they progress through the different stages of change over time" (Marcus et al., 1992)
DECISIONAL BALANCE Pros & cons of exercising • I would be healthier if I exercised (pro) • Other people would respect me more if I exercised(pro) • It is expensive to join a health club(con) • I would probably be sore and uncomfortable if I exercised(con)
Differences in pros and cons across stages (Marshall & Biddle, 2001) Effect Size 2 1.5 1 0.5 Cons Pros 0 Precontemplation Preparation Maintenance Contemplation Action
Self Efficacy The confidence that you can be active in challenging situations Example: I am confident I can be active when I feel I do not have much time
Differences in self-efficacy across stages (Marshall & Biddle, 2001) Effect Size 2.5 2 1.5 1 0.5 0 Precontemplation Preparation Maintenance Contemplation Action
TTM: Critique • the majority of study designs are cross-sectional • there is a need to standardize and improve the reliability of measurement of stages and related constructs • the role of processes of change for physical activity behaviour remains unclear. The presence of higher-order constructs is not apparent in physical activity • stage-by-process interactions are not evident (Marshall & Biddle, 2001)
MAINTENANCE SEDENTARY ADOPTION RESUMPTION DROP- OUT
Determinants may differ across phases/stage of the model • Key phases/stages applied to exercise: • Starting exercise • Maintaining exercise • Ceasing exercise • Resuming exercise
effective coping Adequate or increased self-efficacy Low probability of quitting High risk of ceasing exercise ineffective coping Low self- efficacy Negative attributions High probability of quitting

Chapter 6: Conclusions 1 • the TTM provides an important advance on static linear models of exercise and physical activity determinants by hypothesising both the ‘how’ and ‘when’ of behaviour change • Measures of stages and processes of change are now available and require validation across more diverse samples • TTM research needs to advance beyond description of predictable cross-sectional differences between stages • meta-analytic evidence broadly supports the model, although the classification of processes of change into two higher-order categories is questioned
Chapter 6: Conclusions 2 • a natural history model of exercise is a useful framework for identifying key stages in exercise behaviour • more needs to be known about which determinants are important at each of the phases of the model • relapse prevention may depend more on coping strategies than high-risk situations per se • the hybrid HAPA model allows for the distinction between non-intentional, intentional, and action stages of behaviour
