Toward Unsupervised Capacity Assessments for Gait in Neurorehabilitation: Validation Study

Toward Unsupervised Capacity Assessments for Gait in Neurorehabilitation: Validation Study

In other words, this study will determine whether a standardized gait capacity assessment conducted in the clinical setting without supervision maintains the same validity, replicability, and motivation as when conducted with supervision.

Impact of In-Person and Mobile Exercise Coaching on Psychosocial Factors Affecting Exercise Adherence in Inactive Women With Obesity: 20-Week Randomized Controlled Trial

The measurement of exercise motivation was based on a Norwegian version of the validated Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (BREQ-2) [49], assessing the stages of the self-determination continuum of motivation. The BREQ-2 comprises 5 subscales, with a total of 19 statements. For each statement, the participants rated the significance of each statement as a personal motive to engage, or not engage in exercise, on a 5-point scale (from “0 not true for me” to “4 very true for me”).

Gamified Web-Delivered Attentional Bias Modification Training for Adults With Chronic Pain: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

ABMT procedures require participants to complete numerous trials over multiple sessions across several weeks [10,12,16-20] and typically use a basic layout. There is evidence that participants view the dot-probe task as monotonous, repetitive, and boring [21-23].

Then, the next step was to identify relevant conversations within the selected subreddits. We will now elaborate on each step of this process: We ran a Google search of Reddit using the keywords “motivation” and “exercise” or “sport.” This search returned 59 communities (ie, subreddits).

Perspectives of Children and Adolescents on Engaging With a Web-Based Mental Health Program: Focus Group Study

Although these studies provide useful insights, they tend to focus on program factors such as design, usability, and content, rather than individual factors such as motivation for engagement more broadly [8,9]. From a theoretical perspective, self-determination theory [10] suggests motivation is driven by an interplay of internal and external sources.
