Physical activity-related health competence as an integrative objective in exercise therapy and health sports – conception and validation of a short questionnaire

Physical Activity Promotion for Apprentices in Nursing Care and Automotive Mechatronics–Competence Counts More than Volume

“…The eight subfactors represent aspects of the three sub-competencies of movement competence, control competence, and self-regulation competence. In accordance with theoretical elaborations [40,41], the factors "affect regulation" and "control of physical load" can be interpreted as covering the sub-competence of control competence; the factors of "manageability of endurance demands" (MED), "manageability of strength demands" (MSD), "manageability of balance demands" (MBD), and "self-efficacy" can be considered aspects of movement competence; and finally, "emotional attitude towards PA", "self-control", and "self-efficacy" can be viewed as reflecting self-regulation competence. The present data set supports this assignment pattern ( Figure A1) by exhibiting an "acceptable" [61] model fit, SB-χ 2 /df = 2.92, CFI = 0.926, RMSEA = 0.051 [CI 90 = 0.048-0.054], SRMR = 0.060.…”

“…As a suggested framework that specifies competencies when individuals have to master physical activities in a healthy manner, we used the model of physical activity-related health competence (PAHCO) [40,41]. Compared with the physical literacy concept, the PAHCO approach highlights the more functional role of these competencies being explicitly geared towards individual's health [42].…”

Pacing and perceived exertion in endurance performance in exercise therapy and health sports

“…According to the subcomponent "control competency" of physical-activity-related health competency, the strain would be individually adequate if it would enable and ensure the following: a) the optimization of effects b) the minimization of health risks c) a positive affective response or at least increase the probability for these to occur (Sudeck & Pfeifer, 2016 …”

“…Promoting adequate pacing in health sports and exercise therapy would facilitate increased competence orientation in these contexts (Sudeck & Pfeifer, 2016) as recommended by health insurances and social pension funds (Deutsche Rentenversicherung, 2016), and empower and strengthen autonomy in terms of patient and client orientation.…”

Inclusion of People with Intellectual Disabilities in Health Literacy: Lessons Learned from Three Participative Projects for Future Initiatives

“…By promoting PA, the risk of disease can be minimized, existing diseases can be managed better, and the course of a disease can be positively influenced [30,31]. In this project, the model of physical activity-related health competence [32] was used, with its subcategories: movement competence, control competence and PA-related self-regulation (motivational-volitional). This model contains health literacy mainly in the subcategory of control competence, which includes the body and physical-related basic knowledge in relation to health [32].…”
