ABSTRACT: Method
Exploratory study. Data used were collected from EVIDENT 3 study (N = 650). Items to measure psychological determinants were chosen from the baseline questionnaires. PA minutes/week were assessed by an accelerometer and IPAQ. The sample was analyzed by the control group (CG), the intervention group (IG) and Body Mass Index, using Confidence Interval-Based Estimation of Relevance (CIBER) analyses.Results
486 participants, (IG: n = 251, CG: n = 235) were included. IG shows a positive association between PA assessed by accelerometer and self-efficacy. In IG, the overweight sample shows a positive association between PA assessed by accelerometer and motivation and self-efficacy. PA assessed by accelerometer obtained a higher explained variance (R2 ) in IG, both people with overweight (.10 - .55) and obesity (.03 - .19). In CG, IPAQ reached better results in people with overweight (.12 - .49).Conclusions
Motivation and self-efficacy showed as relevant in increasing PA minutes/week, but only in the people with overweight in IG. There might be other factors not analyzed that could improve the low R2 obtained.
