“…However, across and within the profiles, gender was significant, and we found that women participated less in total physical activity than did men, which is reflected in other research findings (Ainsworth, Sternfeld, Richardson, & Jackson, 2000). Perhaps the weak relation between the awareness profiles and physical activity is partly explained by walking being the most common type of physical activity in adults (Hallal et al, 2012;Sharpe et al, 2010;Simpson et al, 2003) because it is cheap and accessible, has low risk for injury, and is effective for weight loss (Atalay & Cavlak, 2012;Ekkekakis, Backhouse, Gray, & Lind, 2008;Rippe, Ward, Porcari, & Freedson, 1988). We can also posit that the motivators for physical activity are complex and multifactorial (Kwan & Bryan, 2010), so using one proximal measure-awareness-has limitations.…”
