|
SOCIAL-increased self confidence & self esteem, may provide environment for social interaction;improved quality of life.
INTELLECTUAL-increases blood flow to the brain thereby increasing alertness & learning ability EMOTIONAL-reduces stress & muscle tension;improves sleep habits;helps reduce mild to moderate depression. SPIRITUAL-May feel connected or grounded PHYSICAL-decrease risk of disease (CVD, diabetes, obesity, cancers); lowers resting HR; decreases BP; improves cholesterol profile; improves CV fitness; etc. |
|

Physiological-increases core temp which causes release of endorphins which decrease pain and produce feelings of wellbeing; also release of neurotransmitters such as dopamine (antidepressant)
BEHAVIOURAL - acts as a distraction, provides a sense of control, improves self esteem & self concept. |

Name & describe the stages of change
|
PRECONTEMPLATION-not entending to change;may not think habits are bad; not aware of the risks of no physical activity.
CONTEMPLATION-considering a change in the next 6 mos.;may be ambivalent;usually low self confidence PREPARATION-intending to take action in next 30 days; making small changes;may have tried & failed in the past yr. ACTION-changed behaviour in last 6 months; high risk stage; support is crucial MAINTENANCE- changed behaviour for at least 6 months; very high confidence; have learned strategies to deal w/ relapse.n |
|
Discuss intervention goals for each stage of change
|
PRECONTEMPLATION-can't always help; increase awareness of risks and the pros of increased physical activiy; talk & listen
CONTEMPLATORS- provide reasons to change; build self confidence; fitness appraisal. PREPARERS-Make a plan, set goals; set a target date; focus on pros; sign contract ACTION - encourage positive change; REWARDS; reinforcements; coping mechanisms. MAINTENANCE-Rewards & feedback; prepare them for relapses; refine & add variety; focus on progress; keep it fun. |
