Brave new math / Marber, Peter   Journal Article
marber, Peter Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract In 1968, at age 56, my grandfather had a heart attack. It surprised a lot of people. With a full head of hair, he was thin, youthful looking, and rarely sick. He received standard patient treatment for the time-prolonged bed rest and morphine. When he recovered, he continued his pre-attack lifestyle which included smoking, almost no exercise, and a diet of meat, potatoes, and my grandmother's cream pastries. Five years later, he was dead, the result of another heart attack.

Gap between knowledge and the ability to apply it: the case of adult Jewish-Israeli physical activity / Galily, Yair; Lissitsa, Sabina ; Zach, Sima   Journal Article
Galily, Yair Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article has three goals: to examine whether any changes occurred in leisure time exercise patterns in the adult Jewish Israeli population between 2007 and 2012; to identify the barriers that prevented adult Israelis from exercising and what changes if any occurred in the barriers; and to examine the relationship between frequency of exercise and barriers to exercise during the six-year period under study. By way of exploring these issues, a survey of the target population was carried out in each year of the researched period with a combined sample of 3000 participants. Results reveal an increase in physical activity after 2009, and a sharp decline among those who were sedentary. To remedy this situation, the article proposes the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), which provides the explanation for overcoming the gap between intentions and actions of adherence.
