At baseline, participants completed SCT scales related to physical activity (i.e., self-efficacy, intention, parental support, and outcome expectations). At baseline and 12-month follow-up (postintervention), participants wore accelerometers for 7 days. Structural equation modeling was used to determine if Time 1 measures predicted physical activity at 12-month follow-up after adjusting for baseline activity. Results: The model explained 28% and 34% of the variance in physical activity and intention, respectively. Model fit indexes indicated the data were a good fit to the model; however, only self-efficacy was associated with physical activity at 12 months. There was no support for intention or outcome expectations as proximal determinants of behavior. Self-efficacy was associated with outcome expectations and parental support; however, only outcome expectations predicted intention. Conclusions: Current findings indicate a large proportion of the variance for physical activity and intention remains unexplained and that the proposed pathways in the SCT model were not fully supported. Future model testing may need to consider augmentation or integration of theoretical models, which may include ecological components if we are to advance our understanding of physical activity behavior in this subgroup of the adolescent population.]]> Wed 04 Sep 2019 11:33:46 AEST ]]> Exploring the relations between social support and social identity in adolescent male athletes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40980 N = 344) completed measures of social support and social identity as part of a cross-sectional design. Latent profile analysis was used to identify distinct social support profiles. Results: Four latent profiles were identified: higher support, average support, diminished support, and lower support. ANCOVA results indicated that profile membership corresponded to significant differences in social identity perceptions, p < .001, partial 2 = .26. Participants in the higher social support profile perceived significantly higher social identity when compared with profiles of average, diminished, and lower support (ps < .05, Cohen's d ≥67). Conclusion: Results highlight the association between support from different social agents and social identity in youth sport. Better understanding the correlates of social identity may be critical in enhancing the developmental benefits of participation in organized team sports given the relationship with social identity.]]> Thu 29 Jun 2023 15:06:35 AEST ]]> Gender differences in motor skill proficiency from childhood to adolescence: a longitudinal study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9431 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:47:54 AEDT ]]> Interrater objectivity for field-based fundamental motor skill assessment https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6819 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:23:04 AEDT ]]> Classroom teachers' perceptions of the impact of barriers to teaching physical education on the quality of physical education programs https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4322 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:14:07 AEDT ]]> Understanding the Presence of Mental Fatigue in Elite Female Football https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45828 Mon 07 Nov 2022 13:35:08 AEDT ]]>
