  • Exploring novel determinants of exercise behavior

    Open AccessHarold Lee, Harold H Lee et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Behavioral Medicine2025References: 60

    Many middle-aged to older adults do not engage in regular exercise at all, despite its importance for healthy aging. Extensive research grounded in behavioral and social science theories has identified numerous determinants of exercise. However, few studies used an exposure-wide approach, a data-driven exploratory method particularly useful for identifying novel determinants. Methods: We used data from 13 771 participants in the Health and Retire…

  • Physical activity promotion based on positive psychology

    Open AccessLauren Connell Bohlen, Katrina Oselinsky et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Behavioral Medicine2025References: 44

    BACKGROUND: Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with positive health outcomes; however, rates of regular PA are low. Positive psychology interventions are efficacious in other health contexts and may be useful for promoting regular PA. PURPOSE: Phased development and pilot/feasibility testing of a positive psychology intervention to promote PA using the ORBIT model for behavioral treatment development. METHODS: Positive psychology and PA…

  • The Moderating Effects of Genetic Variations on Changes in Physical Activity Level and Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Response to a Life-Style Intervention

    Harold Lee, Harold H Lee et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: Prior studies identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with physical activity (PA) level in a natural environment and intervention study: rs978656-DNAPTP6, rs10887741-PAPSS2, rs7279064-C18orf2, and rs6265-BDNF. Using the four SNPs' polygenic score (PGS), we examined whether PGS moderates a life-style intervention's effect on changes in PA level and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). METHODS: This is a secondary analys…

  • Age moderates the effect of socioeconomic status on physical activity level among south Korean adults

    Open AccessHarold Lee, Ashley E Pérez et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    Future policies that aim to address SES-related health disparities in physical activity among adults in South Korea should consider the different patterns of physical activity in accordance with SES and age

  • Age Moderates the Effect of Self-Paced Exercise on Exercise Adherence among Overweight Adults

    Open AccessHarold Lee, Shira I Dunsiger et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2018Cited by: 2References: 1

    Objective: The present study tested the hypothesis that the effect of self-paced exercise on adherence to exercise programs is more pronounced with increasing age. Method: Fifty-nine low-active overweight adults (18-65 years) were encouraged to walk 30 to 60 min/day and randomized to either self-paced ( n = 30) or prescribed moderate-intensity ( n = 29) conditions. Results: The effect of study condition was moderated by age (main effect: b = 6.14…
