Affective Response During Real-World Physical Activity as an Intervention Mediator

About this course

Key Points:

Physical activity recommendations and guidelines generally fail to address how one feels during physical activity, which might contribute to long-term behavior maintenance

A growing theoretical and empirical basis supports the real-time, real-world assessment of affective mechanisms and the extent to which these assessments predict future physical activity behavior

More research in everyday environments is needed to determine whether real-time interventions might be able to make physical activity more pleasant and sustainable

Studies should follow the guidance of the Science of Behavior Change experimental medicine framework by identifying, assessing, and influencing affective response during physical activity in real-world settings to inform future interventions targeting this potential mediating mechanism
