| TPB (Behavioral Change Theory) | Theory of Planned Behavior |
| Theory of Planned Behavior: Main Idea: | The intention to make behavior change leads to change. If a client has a positive attitude about change, feels that it is enjoyable has feelings of controllability and self efficacy and recognizes that the social network values change the will change. |
| Theory of Planned Behavior: Important Tools: | Enhance self-efficacy Explore attitudes related to change Introduce enjoyable activities Utilize group activities or buddy systems Help identify and engage social support |
| Theory of Planned Behavior: Strengths: | TPB treatments significantly increase intention |
| Theory of Planned Behavior: Limitations: | "Intention-behavior gap" inteintion does not always lead to behavior. |
| SCT (Behavioral Change Theory) | Social Cognitive Theory |
| Social Cognitive Theory: Main Idea | Outcome exceptions and self efficacy are the most important factors to behavior change. The physical and social environment is key. One's skill set, reinforcement and incentives copings skills, experiences, and thoughts and feelings determine change. |
| Social Cognitive Theory: Important Tools | Utilize role models Self-monitoring planning and problem solving Increase Social Support Skill development, self efficacy Utilize environment cues and reinforcements Break thought chains (stop feelings and behaviors) Recognize past success |
| Social Cognitive Theory: Strengths | Considers client's environment, thoughts and feelings toward behavior change |
| Social Cognitive Theory: Limitations: | Many factors to consider in one treatment program |
| GST (Behavioral Change Theory) | Goal Settings Theory |
| Goal Setting Theory: Main Idea: | Setting goals causes change, Mostly settings goals that are specific manageable attainable realistic and time specific lead to behavior change. Also important to change is self efficacy feedback, skill level and the perceived importance of the goal. |
| Goal Setting Theory: Important Tools: | Self-directed goals Utilize recording and monitoring tools Problem solving skills Feedback Allow client to express reasons to change Review past successful goals and "what worked" Regular goal settings |
| Goal Setting Theory: Strengths: | Gives clients a concrete plan for change May be utilized within other theories |
| Goal Setting Theory: Limitations: | May not address factors such as thoughts emotions and environment |
| Small Changes Model: Main Idea | Change is achieved through realistic maintainable goals that are small relative to baseline, and cumulative. Combines components such as goal setting feedback and self monitoring to yield achievement of goals and increases in self efficacy to make change. |
| Small Changes Model: Important Tools: | Self selected goals Goals are relative to baseline Goals are small Utilize monitoring tools and feedback Problem solving skills Goals are linked to lifestyle and maintainable across time |
| Small Changes Model: Strengths: | Promotes gradual and cumulative behavior change while increasing self-efficacy |
| Small Changes Model: Limitations | New Theory with only a handful of studies to date. Moreover, little is known about its effectiveness for certain groups of people. |
| Socioecological Theory: Main Idea | Behavior change is a result of not only the invidual factors but also the social structure, environment, community, policy, and law |
| Socioecological Theory: Important Tools: | Address barriers and highlight supports Create and eco-map Work with social network to affect change Help clients explore and ask for social support Implement cues in the environment for change Allow clients to share cultural and community practices |
| Socioecological Theory: Strengths: | Recognizes that clients are affected by their greater environment |
| Socioecological Theory: Limitations: | The environmental structure (including community, policy, and law) can be very difficult to change and change is slow at best. |
| TTM (Behavioral Change Theory) | Transtheoretical Model of Change |
| Transtheoretical Model of Change: Main Idea: | Change is based on one's readiness to change. Clients can move through change stages using the processes of change. Personal Trainers should begin working with the clients in their current stage. |
| Transtheoretical Model of Change: Important Tools: | Decisional Balance Processes of change (self liberation, reinforcement management, dramatic relief) Self-efficacy and confidence in change "Rolling with Resistance" |
| Transtheoretical Model of Change: Strengths: | Helps those at all stages of readiness (no required readiness) Reduces Friction between client and CPT |
| Transtheoretical Model of Change: Limitations: | Research shows mixed results May be more effective for some behaviors than others |
| HBM (Behavioral Change Theory) | Health Belief Model |
| Health Belief Model: Main Idea: | Behavior change is predicted by one's feelings of susceptibility to health consequences, the perceived seriousness of the consequences, and the belief that making changes will reduce the risk. |
| Health Belief Model: Important Tools: | Explore health concerns and vulnerability Education Identify barriers and benifits to change Use of external cues to remind clients of risks and benefits |
| Health Belief Model: Strengths: | Clients have a greater understanding of health |
| Health Belief Model: Limitations: | May not be as effective for clients who do not have identified health risks. |
| Kcal in Carbohydrates | 4kcal |
| Kcal in Protein | 4kcal |

| Specificity of training | Only the muscles that are trained will adapt and change in response to a given program. |
| SAID | Specific Adaptions to Imposed Demands |
| SAID Principle | Indicates that the adaption will be specific to the demand that the exercise places upon the individual. |
| Progressive overload | As the body adapts to a given stimulus, an increase in the stimulus is required for further adaptions and improvements. Thus, if the load or volume is not increased over time progress will be limited. |
| Variation in training | No one program should be used without changing the exercise stimulus over time. An example of increasing variety training is periodized training. |
| Periodization Training: | The phasic manipulation of the training variables, as a means of optimizing desired physiological outcomes while concurrently reducing the incidence of over training. Allows for optimal training and recovery time in a resistance training program. |
| Prioritization of training: | It is difficult to train for all aspects of muscular fitness. Thus within a periodized training program, one needs to focus or prioritize the training goals for each training cycle. This technique is often used in athletics |
