Study Notes

Developing Exercise Interventions - Overview

The lecture focuses on systematic development of exercise interventions.
It outlines a four-stage process: understanding the behaviour, identifying intervention options, selecting intervention content and implementation options, and evaluating the impact.

Stage 1: Understand the behaviour

Identify the target behaviour and population.
Conduct a behavioural analysis and diagnosis, focusing on factors that need to change for behaviour to occur.

Behavioural Analysis: Factors to Consider

Capability:
- Physical - skills proficiency, stamina, strength.
- Psychological - mental capacity, knowledge.
Opportunity:
- Social - influences, social cues, social norms.
- Physical - time availability, resources, and built environment.
Motivation:
- Reflective - planning, intentions, evaluating outcomes.
- Automatic - emotional reactions, impulses, desires.

Stage 2: Identify intervention options

Select intervention functions, which are activities designed to change behaviour by focusing on capability, opportunity, or motivation.
Select policy categories, which are approaches that stakeholders can use to support or establish interventions.
Consider feasibility when selecting policy categories.

Intervention Functions and Policy Categories

Policy Categories
- Workplace - employers and employees, insurance providers, investors, physicians.
- Remote indigenous schools - parents, children, elders, community and cultural leaders, physicians, teachers.
- Exercise classes for people with dementia.
- Opening up Main Street to pedestrians and cyclists only.

The Behaviour Change Wheel

Provides a comprehensive approach for selecting behaviour change techniques.
Supports the identification of intervention options by integrating the COM-B model with intervention functions and policy categories, offering a systematic framework.
The Behaviour change Wheel is a systematic approach to selecting behaviour change techniques to support intervention development for behaviour change.

Approaches to Developing Exercise Interventions

ISLAGIATT (It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time) - Interventions are often designed without a thorough understanding of the influencing factors on physical activity for a specific population in a specific context.
Stages for Developing Exercise Interventions
- Stage 1: Understanding the behavior
- Stage 2: Identifying intervention options
- Stage 3: Identifying intervention content and implementation options
- Stage 4: Evaluating the impact of the intervention

Stage 1: Understand the Behaviour

Step 1: Identify Target Behavior and Population
- Define the specific physical activity behavior you want to change.
- Identify the specific target population or individual.
Step 2: Conduct a Behavioral Analysis and Diagnosis
- Goal: Identify factors that need to change for the desired behavior to occur.
- Capability: Physical (skills, stamina, strength) and Psychological (mental capacity, knowledge)
- Opportunity: Social (influences, social cues & norms) and Physical (time, resources, built environment)
- Motivation: Reflective (planning, intentions, evaluating outcomes) and Automatic (emotional reactions, impulses, desires)

Stage 2: Identify Intervention Options

Step 3: Select Intervention Functions
- Intervention activities designed to change behavior by influencing capability, opportunity, and/or motivation.
Step 4: Select Policy Categories
- Approaches used by stakeholders to support or establish interventions.
- Stakeholder examples: employees, employers, insurance providers, physicians, investors, parents, children, elders, community leaders, teachers.

Policy Categories

Seven policy categories: These can influence interventions that promote physical activity or a specific behavior change.
- Feasibility is crucial. Consider which categories you can influence.

Behaviour Change Wheel

Combines Stage 1 and 2: Provides a systematic approach for selecting behavior change techniques.
Goal:
- Understand the target behavior
- Consider all possible options
- Systematically select behavior change techniques

Interventions Functions and Policy Categories

Intervention functions align with specific policy categories.
- This allows for tailored intervention strategies for specific populations and contexts.
