Motivational and Volitional Correlates of Physical Activity in Participants Reporting No, Past, and Current Hypertension: Findings from a Cross-Sectional Observation Study
TLDR
The study contributes to the understanding of differences in motivational and volitional correlates of physical activity in persons who reported different hypertension statuses by using the health action process approach as a theoretical background.Abstract:
The study investigated differences in motivational and volitional correlates of physical activity in persons who reported currently having hypertension, had hypertension in the past, or had no hypertension by using the health action process approach as a theoretical background. Self-reported data from 512 participants (71.9% women; M
age = 46.83 years; SD
age = 13.77; M
BMI = 24.89; SD
BMI = 4.71) were analyzed using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post hoc comparisons of groups to determine differences in motivational and volitional correlates for physical activity between groups followed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Additionally, χ
2 statistic was used to analyze differences in the distribution of behavioral stages between groups. Participants with hypertension reported a higher perceived vulnerability (d = 0.99) and lower action planning (d = 0.32) and self-efficacy (d = 0.30) compared to those who indicated no hypertension. Their perceived vulnerability was also higher compared to those who indicated past hypertension on the mean level (d = 0.60). Significant main effects for all independent variables were found when controlling for gender and HAPA stages with main effects for perceived vulnerability, action planning, and self-efficacy. Participants with current hypertension were more prominent in the intender stage, whereas participants with past hypertension were more likely to be in the actor stage. Participants with no hypertension at all were equally distributed across the intender and actor stages. The study contributes to the understanding of differences in motivational and volitional correlates of physical activity in persons who reported different hypertension statuses.read more

Latent user groups of an eHealth physical activity behaviour change intervention for people interested in reducing their cardiovascular risk
TL;DR: Results showed that self-allocated stage outcomes represent a pseudo stage model − linear trends can be reported for stage-associated social-cognitive variables and provides information on the validity of stage measures, which can inform future interventions.

TL;DR: The results show significant differences between the two groups in terms of causes of non-participation and dropping out, preferred PA activities, perceived knowledge, and information-seeking behaviour.

TL;DR: This study shows the prevalence of sedentary behavior among the hypertensive population and suggests service providers seem incapable to make hypertensives aware of the risks associated with PA and the benefits associated with SE.

TL;DR: Overall self-management status of the patients was very good and health centers that plan self -management support programs for patients should consider the social determinants of life style modification and monitoring of BP at home by hypertensive patients.

Sedentary Behavioral Studies of Young and Middle-Aged Adults with Hypertension in the Framework of Behavioral Epidemiology: A Scoping Review
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted a scoping review to identify and summarize the research on sedentary behavior in this population by separating it into five stages: the relationship between sedentary behaviour and health; measurement modalities; influencing factors; interventions; and translational research in young and middle-aged adults with hypertension.

TL;DR: Although this guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the management of high BP and should meet the clinical needs of most patients, these recommendations are not a substitute for clinical judgment, and decisions about care must carefully consider and incorporate the clinical characteristics and circumstances of each individual patient.
