“…As appropriate, associations between the variables were calculated using Pearson's r correlation coefficient (for perceptions of time invested in leisure activities and procrastination factors). Finally, to assess the predictive effects of leisure (days devoted and time spent) on procrastination factors, regression analysis -forward method -was performed, in line with recent evidence linked to the this research (Chang, 2015;Rosly et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of the research was to analyze procrastination-a problem of time management that negatively affects the autonomy of people-in relation to leisure as a domain of everyday life. Specifically, the dynamics between leisure (activities and time invested-weekly frequency and duration of activity) and procrastination factors were studied. A sample of 185 university students (118 men and 67 women: M age = 20.77 years, SD age = 2.53) answered a procrastination scale-validated for the Spanish population-which refers to four factors of procrastination (dilatory behaviors, indecision, lack of punctuality, and lack of planning) and an adaptation of the Time Budget (TB) (a table where the participants were asked to specify "the three activities that you prefer to do when you are not studying or doing a paid job"). Results show that leisure activities are associated with factors of procrastination. As a matter of fact, the different factors of procrastination were related to specific types of leisure activities, depending on the weekly frequency of the activity or its duration. In this sense, there are cases in which the greater frequency of leisure activities (hobbies and computing, social life and entertainment) seems to contain-control, inhibit-procrastination (specifically, affecting its component of indecision) variations in the weekly frequency and duration of certain type of activities result in higher or lower scores on certain factors of procrastination. In sum, the time invested in leisure can protect from or inhibit delaying tasks-which implies enhancing the autonomy of people-a deduction that opens up new lines of research to identify optimal time investments for coping with procrastination.

“…Intrinsic factors include exercise self-efficacy [7], motivation [8], and lack of knowledge [9]. Meanwhile, extrinsic factors include program costs, equipment, and inaccessible facilities [10]. Hence, strategies to overcome exercise barriers should be incorporated into SCI rehabilitation programs to promote a healthy lifestyle.…”

Objective To determine the effects of the Paraplegia Fitness Integrated Training (PARAFiT) program, which is an integrated graded physical exercise and health education program for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods This nonrandomized single-blind study included 44 participants, who were assigned to either an intervention (PARAFiT) group or an active control (conventional physiotherapy) group. The intervention group underwent the PARAFiT program (8 weeks), which consisted of circuit-based interval training, progressive upper limb resistance training, and health education sessions. During the unsupervised period, the intervention group continuously underwent health education program once a month for 2 months (8 weeks). Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used for the analysis.Results The intervention group presented with a higher level of physical activity than did the control group; however, the difference was not significant (p=0.36). Additionally, the intervention group presented with better exercise self-efficacy and cardiorespiratory fitness and stronger bilateral shoulder muscle and handgrip than did the control group (all p<0.05). Exercise adherence was higher in the intervention group than in the control group during both the supervised (80% vs. 75%) and unsupervised (40% vs. 20%) periods.Conclusion The PARAFiT program enhanced the level of physical activity, exercise self-efficacy, physical fitness, and exercise adherence among the patients with SCI. Future studies should incorporate guidelines for home-based exercises and regular monitoring to promote long-term adherence to exercise and physical activity among individuals with SCI.
