- Authors
Vallerand, James R.; Rhodes, Ryan E.; Walker, Gordon J.; Courneya, Kerry S.
- Abstract
The article discusses research regarding an aerobic exercise intention-behavior gap among hematologic cancer survivors (HCS), and it mentions how 71 percent of the HCS who participated in the study intended to do aerobic exercise, while only 60 percent of them translated their intention into actual aerobic exercise. Intention formation and a sense of obligation are addressed, along with regret, motivational processes, and a multi-process action control (M-PAC) framework.
