The SCT suggests that a person’s behavior, environment, and influences. I am using the Social Cognitive Theory because, researchers used the theory frequently as a template for weight management arbitration, and they have also used to, commonly design physical activity programs. Therefore, the constructs of the SCT are fundamentals that can used for outcome expectations, physical activity research, and various goals. In addition to the SCT, I am also going to use the Theory of Planned Behavior. The Theory of Planned Behavior link’s behavior, and belief. It also suggests that a person’s behavior is determined by their intention of engaging in behavior, and perceived behavior control (Ajzen, 1991).

(2007) have conducted an intervention for a weight loss management program that lasted over a span of 15 weeks. During these 15 weeks the participates would meet 120 minutes a week that composed of both educational and practical constructs. Their nutrition, and exercise methods/behaviors will be studied for the intervention. For this purpose, the Social Cognitive Theory used a 5-dimension questionnaire to ask questions like what is their dream weight, and/or what do they want out of this program. Keeler et al. (2013) had an intervention for 85 college students that would offer peer-led nutrition and exercise program call FitU. This intervention lasted over the course of 8 to 10 weeks. They’ll have 60 minutes' lectures that would have accommodations for healthy eating, adequate exercise, and interactive handouts. If needed, you can make a follow up appointment that would consist of 30-60 minutes based on the student. During these meetings you can get additional tools to help you stay on track. To entice them to reach their goals, incentives like t-shirts, cookbooks and various items. By the end of the program 84.2% had changed their dietary pattern/thoughts has changed, and 76.5% seen improved in their exercise pattern (Keeler et al.,
