“…Furthermore, young adults who reported more days of PA at baseline were more likely to see slower rates of change across the 5-week period. Although not directly comparable, these participants reported slightly lower amounts of PA compared to previous studies measuring young adults PA using accelerometers (Henderson et al, 2020). The heterogeneity in our participants' initials levels and rates of change in PA yield insights that can guide promotion strategies of short-term PA in young adults.…”

Young adults face numerous barriers that can undermine their engagement in healthy behaviors. For example, young adults on average experience disproportionally large declines in physical activity (PA) participation compared to other demographic groups. Self-evaluation processes may help explain these declines. This study investigated young adults' weekly trajectories of moderate physical activity, exploring self-evaluation processes, including self-efficacy and shame as time-varying covariates. A total of 71 young adults (Mage = 21.25, SD = 1.18; 55% male) reported moderate physical activity, exercise selfefficacy, and anticipated shame toward exercise once a week for 5 weeks. Latent growth curve models showed that a linear slope fit these data better than alternative models. Parameters of the linear model revealed that these young adults reported engaging in 40 min of moderate PA approximately 3 days per week. However, there were physical activity differences in initial levels and rates of change. Exercise self-efficacy consistently predicted physical activity in a positive direction and with a small-to-medium magnitude. Anticipated shame was an inconsistent predictor of physical activity, showing a negative direction and small magnitude at time one and on average across the 5 weeks. These findings highlight considerable variability in young adults' short-term trajectories of physical activity and underscore both positive and negative processes of exercise related selfevaluations. Future physical activity interventions targeting young adults should incorporate strategies that enhance self-efficacy (e.g., mastery experiences) and reduce feelings of shame (e.g., attribution training).

“…Golfing for social status represents a more extrinsic form of motivation, and previous work has shown that more extrinsic forms of motivation for alcohol use are more strongly associated with drinking than autonomous motivation [14]. It is also possible that individuals who golf to attain social status may share similar motives for their alcohol use, corresponding with both the proposal that PA and alcohol use may derive from common underlying motives [14], and the finding that individuals who report higher levels of social motives for drinking report drinking more frequently [30]. Finally, alcohol consumption could be a coping mechanism for managing the stress created by seeking greater social status [14,49].…”

“…This association persists across age groups, levels of PA, and levels of drinking. Longitudinal studies examining within-person associations between alcohol use and PA have mixed findings, with findings indicating a positive [25,26], negative [27], or no association [28][29][30].…”

Alcohol and physical inactivity are risk factors for a variety of cancer types. However, alcohol use often co-occurs with physical activity (PA), which could mitigate the cancer-prevention benefits of PA. Alcohol is integrated into the culture of one of the most popular physical activities for adults in the United States (U.S.), golf. This study examined how alcohol use was associated with total PA, golf-specific PA, and motives for golfing in a national sample of golfers in the U.S. Adult golfers (n = 338; 51% male, 81% White, 46 ± 14.4 years) self-reported alcohol use, golfing behavior and motives, and PA. Most (84%) golfers consumed alcohol, averaging 7.91 servings/week. Golf participation, including days/week, holes/week, and practice hours/week, was not associated with alcohol use. Golfers with stronger social motives were 60% more likely to consume alcohol. Weekly walking (incident risk ratio (IRR) = 7.30), moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA; IRR = 5.04), and total PA (IRR = 4.14) were associated with more alcohol servings/week. Golfers’ alcohol use may be higher than the general adult population in the U.S. and contributes 775 extra kilocalories/week, a surplus that may offset PA-related energy expenditure and cancer-protective effects. Alcohol use interventions targeting golfers may facilitate weight loss and reduce cancer risk, especially for golfers motivated by social status.
