我们将变更的阶段和过程模型应用于实践的采用和维护。该模型在成瘾和其他负面健康行为的理论和治疗方面显示出了前景，但很少有系统的尝试将该模型应用于积极的健康行为，如锻炼的采用。编制了关于运动改变的阶段和过程的问卷，并对参加工作场所健康促进项目的1 172名参与者进行了抽样调查。样本被随机分成两半进行(a)初始模型开发和测试和(b)验证性测量模型测试。通过检查变化过程的层次结构和进行阶段x过程分析，获得了额外的模型确认。结果表明，戒烟和其他成瘾行为的潜在构念可以推广到运动行为。了解运动行为改变的阶段和过程可以在个人和公共健康水平上为加强运动的采用、坚持和复发预防提供重要信息。
We applied the model of the stages and processes of change to exercise adoption and maintenance. This model has shown promise in advancing theory and treatment of the addictions and other negative health behaviors, but there have been few systematic attempts to apply the model to positive health behaviors, such as exercise adoption. Questionnaires dealing with the stages and processes of exercise change were developed and administered to a sample of 1,172 participants in a worksite health promotion project. The sample was split randomly into halves for (a) initial model development and testing and (b) confirmatory measurement model testing. Additional model confirmation was obtained by examining the hierarchical structure of the processes of change and by conducting Stage x Process analyses. Results suggest that the underlying constructs derived from smoking cessation and other addictive behaviors can be generalized to exercise behavior. Understanding the stages and processes of exercise behavior change may yield important information for enhancing exercise adoption, adherence, and relapse prevention at both individual and public health levels.
