Starters and Finishers
From January to December 2005 approximately 35% of participants finished the
programme From January to July 2006 approximately 41% of
participants finished the programme So this is one example that a high proportion do
not finish their exercise prescription and therefore are still prone to the risk factors of their condition
Taking and engaging in an exercise is a behaviour
Transtheoretical model Psychologists Prochaska, Norcross, and
DiClemente, among others, have developed a theory about the process of change, and the process by which we can be effective at implementing change in our lives.
This model is called the Transtheoretical Model, and involves a number of steps/stages by which people have been professionally and successfully treated and taught to manage their problem behaviours through behaviour modification.
Task 1 Using the work sheet that you have been
given work in pairs to attach the word to the definition (you will be creating stages)
Stages Action Pre-contemplation Contemplation Maintenance Preparation Relaspe/
termination
Task 2 Task 2 Work with another person and put the
stages in the order that you think they should come what is the start and work your way to the end
Stages (in correct order) Definition
Pre-contemplation People are not intending to take action in the foreseeable future- usually measured as the next six months
Contemplation People are intending to change in the next six months they are more aware of the pros and cons
Preparation People are intending to take action in the immediate future usually within the month.; these people have a plan of action such as joining the health club
Action People are now engaged in a exercise programme (x3 pwk for 20 minutes)
Maintenance Have now been exercising regularly for the last six months- likely to maintain exercise throughout their lifespan except for injury etc
Relaspe/termination Return to previous behaviours for a prolonged period of time
What stage am i in? Using the sheet that has been given out,
individually decide which stage the person is in
When you have completed your answers check with another person in the room to compare answers
Report back to the class
Real life Case study Using flip chart paper answer the following
questions What health risks is Pamela exposed to? What are her barriers to exercise What stage of the TTM is she in What type of exercise would you prescribe
and why Are there any particular considerations that
you may have to take into consideration when designing her programme or mental state
