TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the evolution of PA habits amidst the spring COVID-19 lockdown, a major context change, and examined the association of PA behaviours and autonomous motivation with this evolution.

TL;DR: The IMPACT trial as discussed by the authors investigated the effect of a cognitive-bias modification intervention aiming to modify the automatic approach towards exercise-related stimuli on physical activity (PA) among patients.

TL;DR: For instance, this paper found that higher levels of education were associated with higher levels and slower decreases in cognitive function, which in turn predicted a lower decrease in physical activity across time.
