  • Sociodemographic precursors of explicit and implicit attitudes towards physical activity

    Ilyes Saoudi, Silvio Maltagliati et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2025

    OBJECTIVE: In high-income countries, people with low socio-economic status (SES) engage in less leisure-time physical activity (PA) than those with higher SES. Beyond a materialistic account of this difference, the role of motivational precursors-among which attitudes are emblematic-remains poorly understood, particularly when it comes to dissociating the automatic vs. deliberative components of attitudes. This pre-registered study aimed to exami…

  • Automaticity mediates the association between action planning and physical activity, especially when autonomous motivation is high

    Silvio Maltagliati, Philippe Sarrazin et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2025

    Objectives Action planning promotes physical activity (PA). However, mechanisms underlying this association are poorly understood, as are the variables that moderate this link remain unexplored. To fill these gaps, we investigated whether automaticity mediated the association between action planning and PA, and whether autonomous motivation moderated this mediation.Methods and Measures PA was measured by accelerometry over seven days among a samp…

  • Nonlinear Associations of Accelerometer-Based Sedentary Time With Cognitive Functions in the UK Biobank

    Open AccessSilvio Maltagliati, Daniel H Aslan et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2025References: 1

    Objectives Device-based sedentary time shows a nonlinear association with incident dementia among older adults. However, associations between sedentary time and cognitive performance have been inconsistent. We examined potential nonlinear associations between sedentary time and performance on cognitive tests among older adults. Methods We used data from the UK Biobank and included 32,875 adults aged 60–79. Sedentary time was estimated from a mach…

  • Autonomous motivation promotes goal attainment through the conscious investment of effort, but mental contrasting with implementation intentions makes goal striving easier

    Hugh Riddell, Wesley Lamont et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Social Psychology2024

    People with autonomous motives (e.g., personal importance) may use automated strategies to effortlessly sustain goal-directed behavior and overcome obstacles. We investigated whether conscious effort, ease of goal striving, physiological effort, and the number of obstacles encountered mediate relations between motives and goal attainment for a competitive cycling goal. Additionally, half the participants (n = 57) were trained in Mental Contrastin…

  • Women carry the weight of deprivation on physical inactivity

    Open AccessSilvio Maltagliati, Ilyes Saoudi et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2022

    Deprived people are less physically active than privileged individuals. However, pathways underlying the association between deprivation and physical activity remain overlooked. We examined whether the association between deprivation and physical activity was mediated by body mass index (BMI). Consistent with an intersectional perspective (how the combination of belongingness to vulnerable social categories widens inequalities), we tested whether…

  • Enki Bilal et l’anticipation d’une hypersportivité

    Open AccessPierrick Desfontaine, Silvio Maltagliati et al.ARTICLEReS Futurae2021

    L’œuvre graphique d’Enki Bilal interpelle le lecteur par ses dystopies pessimistes qui mettent en scène des personnages déglingués par des systèmes politiques et technologiques qui colonisent les esprits et les corps. Les images cyberpunk bilaliennes relèvent ainsi d’une corporéité sans cesse questionnée par l’hypermodernité et incarnent le concept d’hypersportivité. Les instants hypersportifs qui émaillent les ouvrages de cet artiste éclectique …

  • Promoting Physical Activity during School Closures Imposed by the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessErica Gobbi, Silvio Maltagliati et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced physical activity (PA) behaviors of many people. Physical education (PE) is considered one of the privileged instruments to promote youths' PA. We aimed to investigate the effects of lockdown on PE teachers' behaviors promoting their students' out-of-school PA and differences between three European countries. A sample of 1146 PE teachers (59.5% females) from France, Italy, and Turkey answered an onlin…
