“…It is a kind of consciously self-generated reflection of cognitive states (Jeannerod, 2009). In other words, volition has supplementary power as to why individuals either continue regular exercise or refrain from doing so (Elsborg, Wikman, Nielsen, Tolver, & Elbe, 2016). Therefore, it determines transition from intention to action (Broonen, 2010;Forstmeier & Rüddel, 2008;Hikkerova, Ilouga, & Sahut, 2016).…”

This study was conducted to determine whether there is a relationship between academic volitional strategies and academic achievement in a flipped learning environment. Academic achievement entails an environment where students exert self-discipline on classroom tasks. By using volitional strategies, learners can enhance engagement on academic tasks and complete assignments more efficiently. Undergraduate students enrolled in a teacher education programme at a higher education institution in Turkey participated in the research. Academic Volitional Strategies Inventory (AVSI), with α = .87 internal consistency, was applied to a group of students. The obtained data were explored through Pearson correlation. The results showed a statistically significant positive relationship between AVSI scores and academic achievements (r =.39, p=<.05). Hence, volitional skills and academic achievements act in concert in a teacher education programme.

“…The volition in exercise is based on the Rubicon model of action phases [ 22 ] and on the personality systems interaction theory [ 24 ] that have been used as a theoretical framework for understanding volition [ 25 ]. It was well documented that to predict exercise behaviour, the measurement instrument should be as domain-specific as possible [ 26 ]. Therefore, the questionnaire that assesses volition in the exercise context, that investigates about the power of “willingness to do”, and that is directly focused on the active lifestyle is the Volition in Exercise Questionnaire (VEQ) [ 26 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to validate the Volition in Exercise Questionnaire in Italian language (VEQ-I). The translation and cultural adaptation of the VEQ-I was conducted using the forward-backward translation method. VEQ-I eighteen items correspond to the six-factors structure of the original version. The construct validity was verified by the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) (CFI = 0.960; TLI = 0.943; RMSEA = 0.039; and SRMR = 0.040). The eighteen items were well distributed in six subscales and the six-factors structure of the questionnaire was supported. Internal Consistency value of the questionnaire was investigated for each subscale of the VEQ-I. Cronbach’s alpha and Omega values of the Reasons, Postponing Training, Unrelated Thoughts, Self-Confidence, Approval from Others and Coping with Failure subscales were 0.76 (α) and 0.76 (ω), 0.76 (α) and 0.76 (ω), 0.87 (α) and 0.88 (ω), 0.85 (α) and 0.85 (ω), 0.70 (α) and 0.72 (ω) and 0.74 (α) and 0.74 (ω), respectively. They were acceptable in all the six subscales. The concurrent validity was assessed using the correlation among the subscales of VEQ-I measures and those contained in two questionnaires: Psychobiosocial States in Physical Education (PBS-SPE) and Exercise Motivations Inventory (EMI-2).
