There is a need for research that tests hypotheses derived from theoretical models and that has clear implications for intervention programs, to explore whether general theories of health behavior or approaches relating to specific exercises or activities can be used to predict adoption and maintenance of physical activity.

Eight national surveys conducted in the United States and Canada between 1972 and 1983 are reviewed for evidence of leisure-time physical activity patterns in the population and it appears likely that exercise prevalence has increased in recent years.

The strongest correlates were self-efficacy, perceived barriers to exercise, modeling, dietary habits, support from friends, and age, which strongly supported social learning theory.
Critical Reviews in Food Science and NutritionEpidemiology of physical activity and fitness in children and adolescents
384 Citations1993James F. Sallis
Variations in physical activity and aerobic power are examined in relation to age and gender of children and adolescents to suggest that older youth and females are at increased risk of obesity because of a sedentary lifestyle.

These data demonstrate a graded inverse relationship between total physical activity and mortality, and vigorous activities but not nonvigorous activities were associated with longevity.

Mortality is only one aspect of public health burdens that would be reduced by greater participation in regular physical activity, and quality of life, which has not been attempted, would also improve.

154 Citations1989Melbourne F. Hovell, James F. Sallis +4 more
It was concluded that an economically secure and well-educated Caucasian sample performs an inadequate amount of walking to ensure benefits such as prevention of cardiovascular disease and interventions that enhance perceived self-efficacy should be developed.

Based on data drawn from a random-digit-dial probability sample of adults in a major American metropolitan area, this study supports the perspective that self-efficacy is domain specific and that outcome efficacy is distinct from self- efficacy.
