Summary: The study investigates the interaction between the FTO obesity variant rs1421085 and regular exercise on changes in body weight/BMI. Results show that individuals with the risk allele of rs1421085 tend to gain more weight and increase BMI if they do not exercise, but tend to gain less weight and BMI if they exercise regularly. The beneficial effect of exercise in maintaining body weight is greater in individuals genetically prone to obesity.

Summary: This study found that trait procrastination is associated with intentions and motivations for health behaviour change, as well as with efficacy and outcome expectancies for hoped-for HPS, but not feared HPS.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the beliefs of future Language and Literature teachers regarding reading, with a focus on the reading habits and practices of teacher trainees and their role as prospective mediators. The findings revealed that beliefs about reading primarily fall into two dimensions: academic and personal, with the former being more clearly defined and characterized. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing the social dimension of reading during initial teacher education programs, which is currently not emphasized by teacher trainees.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis to examine the longitudinal associations between perceived consequences and physical activity (PA) in adults. The results showed a small positive correlation between perceived consequences and PA, with significant associations found for time, health, self-evaluative, psychological, and affective consequences.

Summary: The study aimed to test the moderation effect of exercise intensity traits agreement/disagreement on exercise enjoyment outcomes. The results showed a moderation effect on exercise habit, intention to continue exercising, and exercise frequency. The findings suggest that customizing exercise intensity may influence future exercise participation.

Summary: This study examined underweight young women in Japan and whether they had ever dieted. The results showed that women who had dieted had stronger exercise habits and different opinions on weight and food intake compared to those who had not dieted. The findings suggest the need for tailored health education programs for underweight women with different weight management goals.

Summary: This manuscript investigates the influence of conscious intention and unconscious exercise habits on physical activity behavior. The study found that intention, exercise preparation habit, and exercise performance habit significantly influence physical activity levels. The findings highlight the importance of considering both conscious intention and unconscious exercise habits in promoting physical activity.

Summary: Research on terrestrial toads (Rhinella arenarum) in a water-reinforced instrumental situation showed that a reward downshift led to gradual adjustment of instrumental performance and consummatory performance, different from the typical transient deterioration of behavior seen in a successive negative contrast effect. Evidence of successive negative contrast was found when animals were allowed longer access to the reward, with the effect persisting relatively unchanged over multiple daily trials. The results suggest a different response in toads compared to mammals and raise questions about adaptation mechanisms for water uptake in vertebrates.

Summary: This study compared changes in brain activity during exercise between elderly and young adults with regular and occasional exercise habits. The results showed a significant positive correlation between exercise intensity and EEG spectral power in elderly regular exercisers, but not in occasional exercisers. Young regular exercisers exhibited greater cardiac and neurobiological efficiency.

Summary: Physical activity is beneficial for health, but only a small number of adults engage in regular physical activity. Further research is needed to understand the biological mechanisms of motivation and habit formation to enhance physical activity levels.

Summary: This study found that the difference in outcome expectancies related to affect control influences smoking lapse during a quit attempt. Smokers were more likely to lapse when they believed smoking could improve their mood compared to other means of mood improvement.

Summary: The study found a positive relationship between compulsivity and outcome-irrelevant learning, suggesting that such learning processes may contribute to compulsive behavior in the general population. Further research is needed on the formation of non-veridical action-outcome associations related to compulsive behavior.

Summary: Family-based physical activity interventions have been effective in improving family physical activity and planning intention. However, the null mediation results suggest that other factors within the family system may be needed to fully understand the intervention effects. Promoting perceived behavioral control and habit are recommended for future research in this population.

Summary: This study aimed to develop and validate measures of perceived capability and opportunity using vignettes to differentiate them from the effects of motivation and outcome expectations. The results showed that the measure had good reliability and validity, and it was able to predict behavior.

Summary: This study aims to investigate two affect-related constructs (affective response to exercise and affective judgments) as predictors of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) intention and behavior in new mothers over a period of three months. The results showed that affective response during exercise was a significant predictor of intention and intention change, whereas affective judgments had weaker predictive power in the study. Therefore, interventions targeting women's affective response during exercise, such as self-paced physical activity guidance, may be important during the postpartum period.

Summary: This study predicts the intention and physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic using the multi-process action control framework. The findings suggest limited increase in physical activity during the pandemic, and the dynamic profiles are influenced by specific processes, with changes in identity being the critical predictor of successful engagement in physical activity.

Summary: The purpose of this research was to develop and test a peer leadership program for elementary school students and their partners. The program had no significant effect on the leadership behaviors of Grade 6/7 students or the physical literacy of Grade 3/4 students. However, teachers showed high adherence to the program.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the attendance rates and correlates of face-to-face exercise programming pre-COVID-19 to online programming delivered during the first year of pandemic restrictions. The results showed that class attendance increased significantly when online exercise classes were introduced during the first year of the pandemic when compared to face-to-face attendance the prior years (p < .01). Multiple demographic findings were also observed including age, gender, and geographic differences.

Summary: This study aimed to extend previous findings by examining key predictors of change in both running and smoking identity. Results showed that changes in running self-efficacy, running frequency, and individual attractions to the group exercise tasks were significant predictors of change in running identity, while changes in objectively measured smoking behaviour and running identity were significant predictors of change in smoking identity. Therefore, including an exercise component within smoking cessation programs may help individuals replace their existing smoking identity with a healthier exercise identity.

Summary: The feasibility of a moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activity intervention was examined among recently retired participants (RET) and parents (P) with children who recently left the family home. The intervention had a high enrollment rate, retention rate, and satisfaction rate. Participants in the intervention group showed a significant increase in moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activity compared to the control group.

Summary: Observational research suggests that consistent exercise timing could promote physical activity among adults with obesity. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of prescribed consistent exercise timing in a free-living setting among inactive adults with obesity, and to compare MVPA timing prescription and characterize barriers/facilitators.
