Unit II: Theories and Models of Exercise Behavior
Unit 2 Objectives
1. Students should be able to demonstrate their knowledge assessed by a written test
about their:
A) Knowledge of premises, constructs, implications, and cited research about the
present models and theory of physical involvement that should be used to develop
fitness campaigns to promotes physical involvement and exercise adherence,
B) Knowledge about stimulus-response theory in predicting one exercise behavior,
C) Understanding the stages of change of the transtheoretical model and how
changes occurs from one stage to another, and
D) Understanding of the social ecological model.
2. Students should be able to integrate the knowledge of this unit in practice by
completing the following project and questions.
A) Developing a fitness campaign that targets UMD undergraduate students that
integrate the models and theories of physical involvement and exercise. A power
point presentation will be developed by small groups of student in the class
numbering 2-3 students per group.
B) Participate and perform in an in-class review activity by playing Jeopardy where
the student must identify the basic premises, constructs, implications, and
research related to the theories of physical involvement.
C) Why do you exercise or not exercise?
D) Imagine that you have been hired to increase physical activity involvement among
students at UMD. Using the social ecological approach develop a plan on how
you would increase physical activity at UMD.
