Evaluation of a cognitive affective model of physical activity behavior

Abstract

Background: To empirically evaluate a cognitive affective model of physical activity. This bidirectional, cyclical model hypotheses that executive control processes directly influence habitual engagement in exercise and also directly subserve the exercise-induced affective response to acute exercise associated with future physical activity. Methods: The present study employed a one-week prospective, multi-site design. Participant recruitment and data collection occurred at two separate University sites (one in the United States and the other in Canada). Participants completed a bout of treadmill exercise, with affect and arousal assessed before, during and after the bout of exercise. Subjective and objective measures of executive function were assessed during this visit. Following this laboratory visit, seven days of accelerometry were employed to measure habitual engagement in physical activity. Results: Within our inactive, young adult sample, we observed some evidence of 1) aspects of executive function were associated with more light-intensity physical activity in the future (1-week later) (r = 0.36, 95% CI = -0.03 to 0.66, P = 0.07), 2) aspects of executive function were associated with post-exercise affect (r = -0.39, 95% CI = -0.67 to -0.03, P = 0.03) and forecasted affect (r = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.11 to 0.72, P = 0.01), and 3) aspects of acute exercise arousal and affect were associated with current mild-intensity physical activity behavior (r = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.68, P = 0.03). Conclusion:We demonstrate partial support of a cognitive-affective model of physical activity.

Serial-multiple mediation of enjoyment and intention on the relationship between creativity and physical activity

“…As such, if the behavior is regarded as valuable, people are likely to feel a positive affective response to the behavior, and ultimately this may facilitate future behavioral engagement [45] , [84] . These findings are in alignment with previous experimental work [85] , which demonstrated that greater performance on a cognitive task was associated with favorable affective response to exercise, and in turn, this positive affect was associated with promoting current and future PA behavior. Taken together, there may be utility in enhancing creativity to increase the perceived enjoyment of PA and the amount of PA.…”

TSN: Performance Creative Choreography Based on Twin Sensor Network

“…By calculating the dynamic changes of acceleration, the accuracy of the study on whether the audience is in an "enjoying state" has reached nearly 90%. Loprinzi et al [26] proposed a cognitive emotional model to assess physical activity based on experience and to evaluate the exercise habit and intensity of adults. The emotional changes can be seen after the acute exercise, and it is related on the exercise intensity and exercise cycle of the volunteers.…”

The Effectiveness of Self-Induced Unclassified Therapeutic Tremor for Decreasing Secondary Traumatic Stress among Social Workers

“…It positively affects brain functioning and affective-cognitive performance by involving neurotropic, neuroendocrine, neuropeptide, and neurotransmitter systems. This mechanism occurs as aspects of executive function are directly related to physical activity (Loprinzi et al, 2020). Exercise training enhances brain plasticity by boosting neurogenerative, neuroadaptive, and neuroprotective processes, according to neurobiological studies on the subject.…”
