Do Social Cognitive Theory constructs explain response heterogeneity with a physical activity behavioral intervention in multiple sclerosis?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Behavioral interventions based on Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) are efficacious for increasing both objectively-measured and self-reported physical activity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Purpose

This study involved a secondary analysis of data focused on SCT constructs as correlates of individual-level changes (i.e., response heterogeneity) following a behavioral intervention.

Method

Twenty-two persons with MS who completed a 6-month SCT-based behavioral intervention for increasing physical activity were included in analyses. The intervention consisted of two primary components, namely a dedicated Internet website and one-on-one video chats with a behavioral coach. Outcomes included objectively-measured moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) u
