Social-Cognitive Theories to Explain Physical Activity

Understanding social-cognitive theories may aid in the creation of interventions to improve long-term physical activity maintenance. Th…

What Drives Portuguese Women to Be Physically Active? Associations between Motives and Well-Being Indicators

However, the association between these constructs has been overlooked in women who seem to be more externally driven to engage in exercise. The present study was carried out with the objective of analyzing the associations between motives for physical exercise, positive and negative activations, and self-esteem of Portugu…
