“…While previous quantitative and qualitative studies have emphasized the importance of the social and physical environments, the current study confirms the need to continue to address individual factors, particularly those related to weight, in physical activity interventions targeting African American and Hispanic women. Results from a recent study ( Johnson et al, 2013 ) also support the need to incorporate body image into health behavior models, such as the transtheoretical model ( Johnson et al, 2008 ). Further research is needed to increase understanding of how body composition and image and motivational readiness may directly and indirectly promote physical activity.…”

Objective Ecologic frameworks account for multilevel factors related to physical activity (PA) and may be used to develop effective interventions for women. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of individual, social and environmental factors on PA among African American and Hispanic women using structural equation modeling. Method Overweight and obese women (N=164, 65.9% African American) completed a 7-day accelerometer protocol, a physical assessment, and questionnaires on body image, self-efficacy, motivational readiness, social support, home environment for physical activity and perceived environment. Trained assessors evaluated each participant’s neighborhood and collected objective measures of physical activity resources and the pedestrian environment. Assessments were completed between 2006 and 2008. Results Structural model fit was acceptable (RMSEA=.030). Body composition and image was negatively associated with PA, and motivational readiness had an indirect effect on PA through body composition and image. PA resources and the pedestrian environment operated through the perceived environment to positively influence neighborhood cohesion, which was positively associated with body composition and image. Conclusion PA is more heavily influenced by intrapersonal factors related to weight. Improving intrapersonal factors related to weight and perceptions of the environment may lead to increased PA in African American and Hispanic women.

“…Specifically, body satisfaction is associated with changing physical activity behavior, especially for maintenance of physical activity (Johnson, Fallon, Harris, & Burton, 2013), and exercise improves body image (Reel et al, 2007;Housenblas & Fallon, 2006). Programs that promote positive body image and physical activity may have the most potential to create behavioral change among individuals (e.g., low socioeconomic status) who need support the most.…”

“…In fact, body image dysfunction in women and men has been linked to highlycontrolled, extrinsic motivation, which is likely to prevent achievement of long term exercise maintenance (Durkin & Paxton, 2002;Ingledew & Sullivan, 2002). In contrast, a study by Johnson et al (2013) found that body image satisfaction was positively associated with the action and maintenance TTM stages of change. Women have higher levels of BIA and body dissatisfaction than men (Davison & McCabe, 2005).…”

Background and Purpose: Participation in regular exercise is low among young adults and is contributing to a rapid increase in obesity and chronic health conditions. Enhancing motivation is a key element in exercise initiation and maintenance. The current investigation considers factors relevant to the transtheoretical model (TTM), self-determination theory (SDT), self-efficacy (SE), and body image anxiety (BIA) in relation to college students’ motivation to exercise. Design and Main Outcome Measures: In this cross sectional study, lower division college students (N=614, 64% female, 36% male) completed an online survey of exercise behavior, motivation, SE and BIA. Results: BIA was related to both controlled extrinsic (external and introjected regulations) and autonomous extrinsic (integrated regulation) SDT motivational variables, as well as intrinsic motivation. Exercise maintenance was most strongly associated with integrated regulation, a “selfdetermined” motivational state, and SE. Conclusion: The current study provides support for the central tenet of SDT indicating that intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are not mutually exclusive constructs. Helping individuals with BIA develop a more intrinsic approach to exercise is integral for fostering long-term exercise maintenance. Thus, future research should focus on developing interventions that enhance integrated regulation and SE in order to promote exercise maintenance and reduce associated BIA.
