Presenter: Coombes JS
Despite much effort to market and promote exercise, the majority of
people are still not regularly active. Physiotherapists are well positioned
to improve the physical activity levels of their clients, and a better
understanding of the multifactorial causes of inactivity and various
approaches to change behaviour may assist in achieving this outcome.
This session will focus on working with individual clients. A framework to
understand exercise adherence will be presented along with proactive
strategies to promote exercise adoption and maintenance. This will include
understanding self efficacy, the client’s context, self regulation, support
and satisfaction. The presentation will encourage self reflection on current
practices to promote behaviour change.
Key Practice Points:
• Participants will be given a framework to help understand exercise
adherence and strategies to promote physical activity behaviour change
and adaption
CPD Points: 0.25
