“…This is especially important when the client lacks motivation. Some of the advantages of embedding exercise within materials-based occupations are that it provides additional information to the individual to elicit and support movement, it offers social prompts (e.g., competition, cooperation) to promote movement, and it diverts conscious attention away from the movement or the pain (Nelson & Peterson, 1989).…”

In this study, occupational therapy theory is supported because elderly men and women exercised the lower extremity significantly more when they interacted with a common object than when they engaged in objectless exercise or when they imagined interacting with the object. AbstractHistorically, occupational therapists have embedded exercise within occupation to enhance performance. In a recent study Lang, Nelson, and Bush (1992) compared the effects of materials-based occupation (kicking a balloon), imagery-based occupation (imagining kicking a balloon), and rote exercise on the number of exercise repetitions performed.

“…Nelson and Peterson (1989) helped refine the terminology by suggesting that all voluntary activity is, to a greater or lesser extent, purposeful. In this framework, even rote exercise may be purposeful if the individual's goal is to, for example, enhance health, develop a daily routine of activity, achieve independence, and seek praise from others.…”

To discern effects of purposefulness on cardiovascular and neural responses, heart rate and electroencephalographic recordings were taken in 31 children performing purposeful and nonpurposeful activities of equal duration and cardiopulmonary workload. Heart rate increased from resting levels during both purposeful (p = .001) and nonpurposeful (p = .01) activities, but the level of increase was the same for both (p = .30). Similarities in heart rate during purposeful and nonpurposeful activities suggest that purposefulness might not influence heart rate response in children. Encephalographic recordings did not show a higher beta-wave activity quotient during purposeful activity (p = .33).

“…The environment consists of physical nonhuman aspects, as well as social dimensions, cultural influences, and public policy. Nelson and Peterson (1989) theorize that desire for enhanced health or fear of disability is one of five possible motives elderly persons have for engaging in therapeutic exercise. Therapeutic exercise includes activities that are perceived as meaningful and purposeful to the individual.…”
