Assessing Exercise Behavior Using the
Transtheoretical Model. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, March 2009, Pages: 156
This book presents research findings from a study
conducted to assess the exercise behavior of American
university faculty. Constructs of the
Transtheoretical Model were utilized to determine the
physical activity level, classify exercise stage,
examine exercise self-efficacy, and identify
decisional balance for exercise of the subjects. This
book contains numerous scientific data from clinical
and epidemiological studies regarding the significant
role regular physical activity plays throughout the
lifecycle. The physical and psychological health
benefits of regular physical activity, negative
effects of physical inactivity, importance of
worksite health promotion, and physical fitness in
the higher education setting are presented in a
comprehensive literature review section. The research
findings presented in this book can be used as a
parameter to examine the exercise behavior of
university faculty. These findings are valuable to
higher education administrators as a guide to
understanding the exercise behavior of university
faculty. This book can serve as an advisory reference
to exercise researchers in conducting further studies.
