Promoting physical activity for disabled people who are ready to become physically active: A systematic review
Section snippets
Method
The protocol used for this systematic review was the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses guidelines (Moher, Liberati, Tetzlaff, Altman, & PRISMA Group, 2009).
Study selection
A total of 1808 studies were identified in the search with 374 duplicates. After the evaluation of the titles, 278 studies were included to the abstract stage. From the 278 abstracts, 45 studies were included for the full text stage. Two articles were excluded from the full text stage because the full text of the studies was unavailable, despite attempts to retrieve the studies from other libraries or by contacting the authors. Another 26 articles were excluded because these did not meet the
Discussion based on results
The first purpose of this original systematic review was to provide an overview of what psychosocial factors are related to physical activity participation for disabled people who are intenders. Positive associations with physical activity were self-efficacy, intention and weighing pros and cons, while experiencing barriers and the severity of the impairment were negatively associated. However the majority of the studies that reported these results used a cross-sectional design in determining

2020, Psychology of Sport and ExerciseCitation Excerpt :At this juncture it is important to explain what was meant by an ‘effective’ intervention. Recent systematic reviews have involved the authors assessing intervention effectiveness by examining whether the test statistic reaches the desired level of p < .05 (viz. Jaarsma & Smith, 2018). However, this focus on the existence or non-existence of an effect has been heavily criticized for its narrow-focus and incomplete reporting (Ivarsson, Andersen, Stenling, Johnson, & Lindwall, 2015).

2019, Psychology of Sport and ExerciseCitation Excerpt :The inclusion of specific behaviour change techniques was chosen based on prior success in the literature. For example, action planning has been shown to be an effective behaviour change technique among adults with SCI (Latimer et al., 2006), and self-monitoring to be successful among adults with disabilities (Jaarsma & Smith, 2018).
