Lifestyle Behavioral Change
Helping patients incorporate PA into
their lifestyles is a behavioral
intervention; for behavioral interventions
to be the most effective, it is important to
use a theoretical model to help influence
and direct the behavior change. Some of
the most effective theories used in
behavior change models are social
cognitive theory, the transtheoretical
model, and the social ecological model.
Using established theory and behavior
change models and strategies can
improve adherence to behavioral
interventions
