Cognitive Regulation Training and Exercise

描述（由申请方提供）：拟议研究的目的是检查新型认知训练干预对随后坚持和参与结合抗阻和有氧运动的综合家庭和中心体力活动计划的影响。 公共卫生相关性：身体活动率随着年龄的增长而下降，运动计划的自然减员率随着时间的推移而增加。在运动干预中已经实施了许多“助推器策略”，目的是增加对运动计划的依从性，但尚未确定干预前训练是否可以防止自然减员并增加长期坚持。有证据表明，一般的认知训练和特定于运动相关认知处理的训练有可能提高自我效能和自我调节策略，并最终提高运动行为。这项研究将比较认知训练与没有训练对随后坚持4个月的影响，家庭和中心为基础的计划，包括有氧运动和阻力运动，在中年人的样本。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the proposed study is to examine the effects of a novel cognitive-training intervention on subsequent adherence to and engagement in an integrated home and center- based physical activity program combining resistive and aerobic exercise. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Physical activity rates decrease with age and exercise program attrition rates increase with time. A number of "booster strategies" have been implemented within exercise interventions with the aim of increasing compliance to exercise programs, but it has yet to be determined whether pre- intervention training can prevent attrition and increase long-term adherence. Evidence suggests that general cognitive training and training specific to exercise-related cognitive processing has the potential to increase self-efficacy and self-regulatory strategies, and ultimately, exercise behavior. This study will compare the effect of cognitive training vs. no training on subsequent adherence to a 4-month, home and center-based program involving aerobic and resistance exercises, in a sample of middle-age adults.
