TL;DR: Utilizing computer expert systems and self-help manuals to provide individually-tailored, motivationally-matched interventions appears to be an effective, low-cost approach for enhancing physical activity participation in the community.

TL;DR: These findings appear to support treatment approaches that tailor interventions to the individual's stage of motivational readiness for exercise adoption, and demonstrate the first prospective, randomized, controlled trial demonstrating the efficacy of a brief motivationally tailored intervention compared to a standard self-help intervention for Exercise adoption.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the maintenance of physical activity following the end of an active intervention program, may be influenced by attitudes and behaviors acquired along with increased participation in physical activity, as well as by preexisting characteristics that individuals bring into treatment.

TL;DR: Process-to-outcome analyses indicated that sustained use of QuitNet, especially the use of social support, was associated with more than three times greater point prevalence abstinence and more than four times greater continuous abstinence.

TL;DR: The use of tailored Internet, tailored print, and standard Internet as part of a behavior change program increased physical activity behavior similarly and may be an opportunity to reach more sedentary adults in a more cost-effective way.
