  • Title: Exercise self-efficacy intervention in overweight and obese women.
    Author: Buckley J.
    Journal: J Health Psychol; 2016 Jun; 21(6):1074-84. PubMed ID: 25145587.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated the effects of a brief tailored intervention on self-efficacy beliefs and exercise energy expenditure in active and inactive overweight and obese women. Participants were randomly assigned to either control (N = 50) or intervention (N = 47) conditions, and their exercise self-efficacy was assessed three times over a 12-week period. Results showed that the intervention increased schedule, physical, exercise-worries efficacy, and energy expenditure in the previously inactive group. The results suggest that self-efficacy interventions are effective at increasing exercise energy expenditure in inactive overweight and obese women.
