Mental training can improve physical activity behavior in adolescent girls

Abstract: BackgroundLately, physical activity (PA) in young girls has been frequently discussed, thus we were interested to examine whether a mental training intervention can increase the level of PA in young girls.MethodsA sample of 56 girls aged 15.4 ± 0.3 years (mean ± SD) was assigned to either the intervention or control group. We then conducted a 6-week mental imagery training program on young female participants. PA was evaluated with objective accelerometer monitors. Physical self-concept was also assessed in al… Show more

“…Reported step-count data were collected using a range of body-worn devices including both accelerometers and pedometers. A range of accelerometer types (SenseWear [216], Actigraph [49,66,67,123,124,145,161,168,213] ActivPAL [79]) and pedometer types (e.g., Yamax Digiwalker SW 701 [52] Omron HJ-112 [62], Kenz Lifecorder [95,194], Healer MP-22 [187], Silva [92], Oregon Scientific PE320 [78]) were used in data collection. A wide range of step-count values were reported across the age range studied (4000-23,000 steps per day) (Figure 2).…”
