THEORIES AND MODELS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY PROMOTION
Theories and Models of physical activity promotion
Mrs x is a 47 years old, married with three children. She is employed as a senior officer in ministry of budget and planning and reports experiencing an above average level of tension and stress. She presents at the referral of her primary care physician, who has observed that the client has elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels that may be attributed to her stressful and highly sedentary job. In addition, the client admitted that she would like to lose 20 to 30 kg and improve her fitness so that she can walk with her husband in their street.
The client is average tall and weighs 120kg with a corresponding body mass index of 35.2 she has a resting heart rate of 87 beats per minute and a resting blood pressure of 137/90 mmHg. Her total cholesterol is 199mg. dl-1 untreated and her high -density lipoproteins are 36mg. dl-1.
Her graded treadmill stress test reveals that she has a vo2 Max of 22.5 my. kg-1.min-1,which is normal for an unfit woman of her age range. Her electrocardiogram was also unremarkable at rest, as well as during and following her test.
In addition, she reported drinking and smoking from age 20 to 42 years. She also complains of occasional joint stiffness in her hands ,knees and ankles. The client admitted that she never participating in an organized exercise programmes. She is aware of the benefits of exercise but did not feel the incentive to start a formal programmes until her doctor 's recommendation.She was presented to me to start a workout programmes.
Treatment
Bandura's social cognitive theory to foster exercise programmes was used for her and she was perfectly okay.
Most of the research evaluating this traditional approach to exercise prescription has not been too favorable in terms of its results in long term compliance and benefits. (Gregory, 2002).That is, most people who begin an exercise programme drop out during the first 6 months. Why has the traditional information sharing approach been used? Because it's easiest for the clinician, requires less time, and is prescriptive in nature. However, it is not interactive with the client.
More recently, contemporary theories and models of human behaviour have been examined and developed for use in exercise counseling and interventions (U. S department of health and human services). These theories referred to as cognitive behavioural techniques, represent the most salient theories and models that have been used to promote the initiation of and adherence to physical activity. br br These approaches vary in their applicability to physical activity promotion. Some models and theories were designed primarily as guides to understanding behaviour, not as guides for designing intervention protocols. Other s were specifically constructed with a view toward developing cognitive behavioral techniques for physical activity behaviour initiation and maintenance.
New frontiers in the application of exercise prescription to specific populations as well as efforts to define the specific dose (frequency, intensity, duration) of physical activity for specific health and fitness outcomes are now being explored.
