Summary: This study identified psychosociological variables influencing physical activity among frail and prefrail elderly, finding significant differences in decisional balance, self-efficacy, social support, and outcome expectations based on stages of change. Further research is needed to determine the impact of perceived barriers and friends-related social support in this population.

Summary: The study found that female patients with BCRL have lower physical activity levels compared to healthy controls, but a higher percentage of BCRL patients engage in regular exercise. The most common exercise barriers were fatigue, other responsibilities, and weather-related factors. Most participants preferred supervised, structured, combined-type, and moderate intensity exercise programs, and preferred to be informed by a physiotherapist at the time of cancer diagnosis.

Summary: This study found that the level of activity in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) during weekdays and weekends was significantly lower than the healthy control group. The level of activity was negatively correlated with clinical parameters such as multiple sclerosis disability in PwMS.

Summary: This study aims to identify and summarize behavior change techniques used in interventions to promote physical activity in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Results show a variety of behavior change interventions including a mean of 15 BCTs per study, with varying effect sizes ranging from 0.04 to 1.49. This review serves as a comprehensive guide for future intervention development aimed at increasing physical activity and improving overall health in MS patients.

Summary: This study aims to explore the behavior change in physical activity among older adults and identify factors associated with its worsening. The results indicate that older adults with larger hip circumference, lower body strength, and lower aerobic endurance are more likely to drop out of long-term physical activity.

Summary: This study describes and evaluates an educational program called "Planning Health in School" aimed at improving the eating behaviors and lifestyles of Portuguese grade-6 children to prevent childhood obesity. The program was designed based on the Transtheoretical Model and stages of change, and implemented using a participatory methodology to engage children as active participants in their own change process.

Summary: The study showed that self-reported activity pacing is associated with physical activity levels and variability in adults with multiple sclerosis. Patients with low activity levels may be inappropriately using activity pacing as a reactionary response to their symptoms.

Summary: This study examined the device-measured physical activity levels and sedentary behavior participation of adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) at different times of the day. The results showed that fatigued MS participants engaged in less moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, took fewer steps, and had more sedentary time compared to nonfatigued participants. Regardless of fatigue status, the highest levels of physical activity occurred in the morning and midday, while the highest levels of sedentary behavior were seen in the evening.

Summary: Physical activity research often focuses on the initiation of PA, but this study looked at the probability of lapses during two PA interventions for Latinas. Various psychosocial factors were found to be predictors of early lapses, while the use of consciousness raising at 2 months was linked to a lower likelihood of recovery from lapses. Results suggest that skills to improve self-efficacy may be important in preventing future lapses.

Summary: An understanding of physical activity through behavior change mediators is crucial for evaluating intervention effectiveness. The meta-analysis in this review indicates that current theories mediate the effects seen in physical activity interventions, but the effects are small and no single theory stands out as a critical driver of mediated effects. Innovation and improved intervention fidelity are necessary moving forward.

Summary: Altered thalamic volumes and resting state functional connectivity are associated with physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in people with progressive multiple sclerosis. Thalamic structural and functional alterations are correlated with levels of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness in people with progressive multiple sclerosis. People with progressive multiple sclerosis have lower thalamic volumes and abnormal resting state functional connectivity.

Summary: Physical activity interventions based on behavior change theories are effective in increasing physical activity levels in women with breast cancer, although application of theories varies in rigor. Most trials cited the social cognitive theory and transtheoretical model, but did not fully apply them or tailor interventions accordingly. Future research should comprehensively apply behavior change theories and focus on individual patient needs and goals.
