Sex as a moderator of the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and depressive symptoms in older adults
NCT02875301
Cardiorespiratory fitness levels and body mass index of pre-adolescent children and older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction The social and behavioral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted the health and physiology of most people, including those never diagnosed with COVID-19. While the impact of the pandemic has been felt across the lifespan, its effects on cardiorespiratory fitness (commonly considered a reflection of total body health) of older adults and children may be particularly profound due to social distancing and stay-at-home advisories…
Role of Brain Structure in Predicting Adherence to a Physical Activity Regimen
OBJECTIVE: Physical activity (PA) is important for maintaining health throughout the lifespan. However, adherence to PA regimens is poor with approximately 50% of older adults terminating activity intervention programs within 6 months. In this study, we tested whether gray matter volume and white matter microstructural integrity before the initiation of a PA intervention predicts PA adherence. METHODS: One hundred fifty-nine adults aged 60 to 80 …
Effects of a Home-Based DVD-Delivered Physical Activity Program on Self-Esteem in Older Adults
OBJECTIVE: Although center-based supervised physical activity interventions have proved to be successful in attenuating health declines in older adults, such methods can be costly and have limited reach. In the present study, we examined the effects of a DVD-delivered exercise intervention on self-esteem and its subdomains and the extent to which these effects were maintained. In addition, we examined whether psychological, demographic, and biolo…

Quality of Life and Health-Related Quality of Life over 1 Year in Older Women
Associations between attention, affect and cardiac activity in a single yoga session for female cancer survivors
Physical activity barriers and facilitators among working mothers and fathers
The results of this study suggest working mothers and fathers report similar physical activity barriers and facilitators and would benefit from interventions that teach strategies for overcoming barriers and prioritizing physical activity amidst the demands of parenthood. Future interventions might consider targeting mothers and fathers in tandem to create an optimally supportive environment in the home
Meeting Physical Activity Guidelines in Rural Breast Cancer Survivors
Fatigue, self-efficacy, and perceived barriers are key targets for future interventions designed to increase PA in rural BCS. Enhancing self-efficacy and overcoming barriers will require strategies unique and relevant to BCS living in rural settings
Differential exercise effects on quality of life and health-related quality of life in older adults
Psychometric properties of quality of life and health-related quality of life assessments in people with multiple sclerosis
Reliability of Physical-Activity Measures Over Six Months in Adults with Multiple Sclerosis
Reliability estimates are important parameters for power analyses and sample-size calculations in behavioral interventions for increasing physical activity among persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). This study involved a secondary data analysis for providing reliability estimates for measures of physical activity over a six-month period in MS. On two occasions separated by six months, participants completed the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questi…
Enrollment and participation in a pilot walking programme
This pilot study investigated the association of self-efficacy with enrollment in and compliance with an 8-week exercise trial. We compared self-efficacy levels of adults who were eligible but did not enroll ( N=221) to those who enrolled ( N=115) and enrollees who were compliant at the end of the study ( N=66). Those in the top three self-efficacy quintiles had higher odds of enrollment (adjusted odds ratios (AOR)=2.61-2.82) and being compliant …
Physical activity and quality of life in older adults
Physical activity, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life in persons with multiple sclerosis
Physical Activity and Functional Limitations in Older Adults
Our findings provide further validation for an efficacy-based model of functional limitations. Walking-related efficacy may help reduce or possibly delay the onset of functional limitations
Exercise training increases size of hippocampus and improves memory
The hippocampus shrinks in late adulthood, leading to impaired memory and increased risk for dementia. Hippocampal and medial temporal lobe volumes are larger in higher-fit adults, and physical activity training increases hippocampal perfusion, but the extent to which aerobic exercise training can modify hippocampal volume in late adulthood remains unknown. Here we show, in a randomized controlled trial with 120 older adults, that aerobic exercis…
Social Cognitive Influences on Physical Activity Behavior in Middle-Aged and Older Adults
These results provide further support for the use of SCT to physical activity behavior in middle-aged and older adults. Self-efficacy influenced physical activity both directly and indirectly via outcome expectations, suggesting that these variables should be targeted in physical activity interventions for middle-aged and older adults
Physical Activity and Fatigue in Breast Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis
OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of self-efficacy and depression as potential pathways from physical activity to fatigue in two study samples: breast cancer survivors (BCS) (n = 192) and individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) (n = 292). METHODS: We hypothesized that physical activity would be associated indirectly with fatigue through its influence on self-efficacy and depressive symptomatology. A cross-sectional path analysis (BCS) and a longitu…
Construct validation of a non-exercise measure of cardiorespiratory fitness in older adults
This research provides preliminary evidence that a non-exercise estimate of CRF is at least as valid as field test estimates of CRF and represents a low-risk, low-cost, and expedient method for estimating fitness in older adults
Exercise Preference Patterns, Resources, and Environment Among Rural Breast Cancer Survivors
Context: Rural breast cancer survivors may be at increased risk for inadequate exercise participation. Purpose: To determine for rural breast cancer survivors: (1) exercise preference “patterns,” (2) exercise resources and associated factors, and (3) exercise environment. Methods: A mail survey was sent to rural breast cancer survivors identified through a state cancer registry, and 483 (30%) responded. Findings: The majority (96%) were white, wi…
Assessing Outcome Expectations in Older Adults
Outcome expectations, an important element of social cognitive theory, have been associated with physical activity in older adults. Yet, the measurement of this construct has often adopted a unidimensional approach. We examined the validity of a theoretically consistent three-factor (physical, social, and self-evaluative) outcome expectations exercise scale in middle-aged and older adults (N = 320; M age = 63.8). Participants completed questionna…
Trajectory of Declines in Physical Activity in Community-Dwelling Older Women
Studies examining physical activity behavior suggest that activity levels decline with age. Such declines are particularly problematic among older adults in light of the research suggesting a protective effect of physical activity on numerous physical health outcomes associated with independent living. Despite a growing recognition of the importance of a physically active lifestyle, little is known about the role of demographic and psychosocial v…
Change in body mass index is a stronger predictor of change in fat mass than lean mass in elderly black and white women
The aim of this study was to determine the relation between change in body mass index (BMI) and changes in fat mass (FM), lean soft tissue (LST), and percentage body fat (%Fat) in elderly (67.6 +/- 6.0 years) women varying in race (53 black, 144 white) who underwent measurements of BMI, FM, LST, and %Fat at baseline and after 2 years. The group did not markedly change body composition over 2 years (BMI = -0.1 +/- 1.5 kg/m(2), P = 0.53; FM = 0.0 +…
Fear of Falling in Elderly Persons
This study examined heterogeneity in response patterns of the participants of the Survey of Activities and Fear of Falling in the Elderly (SAFFE) and their relationships to falls, functional ability, quality of life, and activity restriction measures in a cohort of 256 older people (mean age = 77.5 years). Participants recruited from local primary care clinics were administered the SAFFE instrument, an activity restriction measure, a combination …
Measuring causal attributions for success and failure
This study evaluated the reliability and validity of three commonly used procedures for assessing the dimensional properties of causal attributions for success and failure. These methods of assessment were based on open-ended attributions for performance, importance ratings of different causes of success and failure, and the attributor's perception of his or her causal attribution for performance as assessed by the Causal Dimension Scale. Data we…
Causal attributions, causal dimensions, and affective reactions to success and failure
Previous research has indicated that two different aspects of causal attribution processes, causal attributions and causal dimensions, are determinants of affective reactions to success and failure. Three different models of the relation between these two components of attribution processes and affective reactions are proposed. These models were empirically tested in two studies. Study I used an experimental methodology requiring subjects to imag…
Physical Activity and Functional Limitations in Older Women
This study examined the role of self-efficacy and physical function performance in the relationship between physical activity and functional limitations. Older women (age, M = 68.2 years) completed measures of physical activity, self-efficacy, physical function performance, and functional limitations at the baseline of an ongoing study. Analyses indicated that physical activity was associated with self-efficacy for exercise, efficacy for gait and…

Self-Efficacy as a Mediator Between Fear of Falling and Functional Ability in the Elderly
Results substantiate the hypothesized mediational role of falls self-efficacy in fear of falling and underscore the need to consider ways of enhancing falls self-efficacy in interventions aimed at reducing falls and fear of falling
A Didactic Example of Latent Curve Analysis Applicable to the Study of Aging
Objectives: This article provides an example and application of growth curve analysis for modeling individual differences in behavioral rates of change in aging. The latent curve modeling approach to the analysis of change allows researchers to describe change as a continuous process and to address issues related to individual differences in change over time. Methods: Data are used from the Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA) on change in activiti…
Mode of Physical Activity and Self-Efficacy in Older Adults
A randomized controlled trial examined the effect of two physical activity modes on changes in self-efficacy over the course of a 12-month period in older, formerly sedentary adults (N = 174, M age = 65.5 years). Participants were randomized into either an aerobic activity group or a stretching and toning group. Structural equation modeling was employed to conduct multiple sample latent growth curve analyses of individual growth in exercise and p…
Physique Anxiety and Exercise in Middle-aged Adults
The present study examined the relationships among body composition, exercise participation, and physique anxiety in a sample of middle-aged, formerly sedentary males and females. Study variables were assessed prior to and following participation in a 20-week aerobic exercise program. Subjects reduced their weight, body fat, and body circumferences over the course of the program, as well as physique anxiety. Multivariate and hierarchical regressi…

Psychometric Properties of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory in a Competitive Sport Setting
The present study was designed to assess selected psychometric properties of the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) (Ryan, 1982), a multidimensional measure of subjects' experience with regard to experimental tasks. Subjects (N = 116) competed in a basketball free-throw shooting game, following which they completed the IMI. The LISREL VI computer program was employed to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis to assess the tenability of a five f…
Measuring Causal Attributions
Although attribution theory continues to be a fertile area of social psychological research, much of the extant literature has suffered from questionable measurement of the constructs of interest. This is especially true in the case of assigning causal attributions placement in theorized dimensional space. Russell's (1982) Causal Dimension Scale represented an important development toward more precise measurement of causal dimensions; however, it…
Are there Different Determinants of the Frequency, Intensity, and Duration of Physical Activity
The authors of this study explored whether different determinants exist for each of the three components of physical activity (frequency, intensity, and duration). The theoretical model they used was a modified version of the theory of planned behavior. Undergraduate volunteers (N = 170) completed an initial questionnaire and provided self-reports 2 and 4 weeks later of their physical activity during the interval. Hierarchical regression analyses…

Psychosocial Correlates and Outcomes of Physical Activity Among Latinos
Despite the many physical and psychological benefits of physical activity, it is well documented that the general population does not engage in sufficient leisure time physical activity to accrue such benefits. In the Latino population the situation is even more dire. This review focuses on studies of the relationship between physical activity and psychosocial correlates and outcomes in Latino men and women. It was demonstrated that the majority …
Physical activity enhances long-term quality of life in older adults
BACKGROUND: Physical activity has been effective in enhancing quality of life (QOL) of older adults over relatively short periods of time. However, little is known about the long-term effects of physical activity and even less about the possible mediators of this relationship. PURPOSE: We examined the mediating effects of psychological variables on the relationship between physical activity and global QOL (satisfaction with life) in older adults …
Falls Self-Efficacy as a Mediator of Fear of Falling in an Exercise Intervention for Older Adults
