Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise, physical activity, and self-determination theory: A systematic review
TL;DR: Overall, the literature provides good evidence for the value of SDT in understanding exercise behavior, demonstrating the importance of autonomous (identified and intrinsic) regulations in fostering physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The purpose of this review was to update existing knowledge of "How many steps/day are enough?", and to inform step-based recommendations consistent with current physical activity guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Successful behavior change in obesity interventions in adults: a systematic review of self-regulation mediators
Pedro J. Teixeira,Eliana V. Carraça,Marta M. Marques,Harry Rutter,Jean-Michel Oppert,Jean-Michel Oppert,Ilse De Bourdeaudhuij,Jeroen Lakerveld,Johannes Brug +8 more
TL;DR: Despite limited evidence, higher autonomous motivation, self-efficacy, and self-regulation skills emerged as the best predictors of beneficial weight and physical activity outcomes; for weight control, positive body image and flexible eating restraint may additionally improve outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of psychosocial pre‐treatment predictors of weight control
TL;DR: The two primary goals of this article are to review the best individual‐level psychosocial pre‐treatment predictors of short‐ and long‐term weight loss and to identify research needs and propose directions for further work in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using self-determination theory to promote physical activity and weight control: a randomized controlled trial in women
Marlene N. Silva,Paulo N. Vieira,Sílvia R. Coutinho,Cláudia S. Minderico,Margarida Gaspar de Matos,Luís B. Sardinha,Pedro J. Teixeira +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that interventions grounded in SDT can be successfully implemented in the context of weight management, enhancing the internalization of more autonomous forms of behavioral regulation, and facilitating exercise adherence, while producing clinically-significant weight reduction, when compared to a control condition.
