“…Williams and colleagues also conducted a RCT with 238 low-active adults, showing that the intervention effect was dependent on baseline PA enjoyment [28]. This is in line with a study by Kruk and colleagues [29], examining almost 900 adults and showing that PA enjoyment precedes MVPA and not vice versa, while another showed that PA enjoyment through social interactions is a motivational factor to be active for older adults [30].…”

Measurement properties of the German version of the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale for adults

The physical activity enjoyment scale (PACES) is a measurement instrument that is commonly used in monitoring and intervention research to assess how much people enjoy being physically active, as this has been related to physical activity adherence. However, while the measurement properties of PACES are well-researched in the English language, there is a gap of research in the German language, especially when looking at adults. Thus, the purpose of this work was to examine reliability, factorial validity, criterion-related validity, and measurement invariance across sex, age groups and time of the PACES for German-speaking adults. Data was obtained from the Motorik-Modul-Study (MoMo) in which 863 adults (53.5% female; mean age = 20.9 years) were examined. To investigate measurement invariance across age groups, data from 2,274 adolescents (50.5% female; mean age = 14.4 years) was obtained additionally. The study provided a nationwide representative sample for Germany. Results showed high internal consistency of PACES in adults (Cronbach’s α = .94). Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the invariance of the measure across age groups, time, and sex. Criterion-related validity could be shown as the global factor significantly correlated with overall physical activity, physical activity in sports clubs, and leisure-time physical activity. The analyses of factorial structure indicated a method effect for positively and negatively worded items. Correlated uniqueness, latent method factor and a hybrid model were applied to analyze the method effect and results indicated that the method effect of positively worded items was predictive of physical activity independently of the global factor. Overall, it can be concluded that PACES is reliable, valid and invariant measure of physical activity enjoyment to be used in German-speaking adults. Further studies are warranted to examine the factorial structure of the PACES and the consequences of the method effect.

“…We now consider the relational study pertaining to physical activity engagement. Coen et al [ 80 ], Han [ 81 ], and Kruk et al [ 82 ] highlighted in their various studies that participants who regularly engaged in physical activity demonstrated better indices of emotional control and perception, while also promoting socialisation and improved mood states.…”

Physical Activity Level, Mediterranean Diet Adherence, and Emotional Intelligence as a Function of Family Functioning in Elementary School Students

et al. 2020

(1) Background: Family is considered as one of the most important elements for the transmission of healthy habits that improve the lives of students. For this reason, the present study aims to describe the degree of family functionality, emotional intelligence, Mediterranean diet adherence, and extra-curricular physical activity engagement. A further aim is to perform a correlational analysis between these variables. (2) Methods: To this end, an ad hoc questionnaire was used, alongside the APGAR, KIDMED, and Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS-24). (3) Results: Finally, the data suggest that a high percentage of students need to improve their diet. Further, students reporting severe family dysfunction showed worse outcomes. Thus, levels of emotional clarity were lower when family functionality was poor. Poor diet quality was also associated with lower emotional attention, with Mediterranean diet adherence being positively related to emotional clarity and repair, as well as normal family functionality. (4) Conclusions: Boys showed higher levels of adherence to the Mediterranean diet adherence, while girls reported higher family functionality. Thus, compliance with the minimum recommendations for physical activity engagement was associated with adequate adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The importance of diet for obtaining an optimal physical condition, adequate emotional state, and family functionality is highlighted.

“…Previous research on factors in uencing (maintenance of) physical activity and dietary behavior may provide some rst indications. For example, recent reviews showed that stress impairs efforts to be physically active, and stress and negative emotions unfavorably in uences dietary behavior (26)(27)(28)(29); however, evidence for an association between negative emotions and physical activity remains inconclusive (30,31). Furthermore, indulgence has been associated with unhealthy eating behavior by multiple studies, especially when the indulgence is justi ed ("I worked so hard today, I deserve it") (32,33).…”

Background To prevent people from relapsing into unhealthy habits, insight into predictors of relapse in physical activity and dietary behavior is needed. Therefore, we aimed to explore predictors of relapse in physical activity and dietary behavior from the perspectives of health practitioners and the key population (i.e. adults who recently lost weight and experienced relapse). Methods We used concept mapping to collect data among five groups of health practitioners (N = 39) and three key population groups (N = 21). First participants’ ideas on potential predictors were collected. Subsequently, these ideas were individually sorted by relatedness and rated on importance. Concept maps were created for each group using principal component analysis and cluster analysis. Results In total 43 predictors were identified, of which the majority belonged to the individual domain compared to the environmental domain. Although the majority of perceived predictors were mentioned by both stakeholder groups, both groups had different opinions regarding the importance of predictors. Also, few predictors were mentioned by all practitioner groups, but not by the key population, and vice versa. Practitioners indicated change in daily structure, stress, lack of effective coping skills, habitual behavior, and lack of self-efficacy regarding losing weight as most important recurrent (i.e. mentioned in all practitioner groups) predictors. The key population indicated lifestyle imbalance or experiencing a life event, lack of perseverance, negative emotional state, abstinence violation effect, decrease in motivation and indulgence as most important recurrent predictors. Conclusions Both stakeholder groups predominantly rated individual factors as most important perceived predictors of relapse. The finding that both groups differed in opinion regarding importance of predictors or identified different predictors, may provide an opportunity to enhance lifestyle coaching by ensuring it is patient-centered and tailored.
