dc.description.abstractThe COVD-19 pandemic has affected how many people engage in regular moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA). The purpose of this study was to predict current and dynamic (across two years of the pandemic) intention and MVPA profiles using the multiprocess action control (M-PAC) framework. A representative sample of 977 English-speaking Canadians (18+ years) completed measures of reflective (instrumental attitude, affective attitude, perceived capability and opportunity), regulatory (planning and self-monitoring), and reflexive (habit, identity) processes and MVPA. These measures included current assessments and reflections prior to the COVID-19 restrictions. Three current intention-behavior profiles (nonintenders, unsuccessful intenders, successful intenders) and five dynamic intention-MVPA by pre-pandemic MVPA profiles (consistent non-intenders, relapsed non-intenders, consistent unsuccessful intenders, relapsed unsuccessful intenders, consistent successful intenders) emerged from these data, showing few increased MVPA across the pandemic. The current and dynamic profiles were subsequently predicted by changes in specific reflective, regulatory, and reflexive processes across the pandemic; however, only change in identity was the critical predictor of successful MVPA engagement in the dynamic two-year MVPA profiles. Collectively, the findings support the joint promotion of reflective, regulatory, and reflexive processes in the choice of behavior change techniques to promote post-pandemic MVPA intention and behavior.en_US
