Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine the individual and environmental factors affecting current sedentary behavior prior to designing strategies for bringing exercise behavior closer to optimal levels in adolescent women using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Our results suggest that self-efficacy for exercise, social support for exercise, decisional balance for exercise (both benefits and costs), and perceptions of neighborhood environments for exercise should all be considered when designing group counseling program to adopt and maintain exercise behavior in Japanese adolescent women.
