The effectiveness of reinforcing exercise behavior with material incentives is unclear.
This study aims to conduct a systematic review of existing research on material incentives for exercise, organized by incentive strategy.
Ten studies conducted between January 1965 and June 2013 assessed the impact of incentivizing exercise compared to a non-incentivized control.
There was significant heterogeneity between studies regarding reinforcement procedures and outcomes. Incentives tended to improve behavior during the intervention while findings were mixed regarding sustained behavior after incentives were removed.
The most effective incentive procedure is unclear given the limitations of existing research. The effectiveness of various incentive procedures in promoting initial behavior change and habit formation, as well as the use of sustainable incentive procedures should be explored in future research.
用物质奖励来强化运动行为的有效性尚不清楚。
本研究旨在按激励策略对现有关于运动物质奖励的研究进行系统综述。
1965年1月至2013年6月期间进行的十项研究评估了与无激励对照组相比,激励运动的影响。
研究之间在强化程序和结果方面存在显著异质性。激励措施在干预期间往往能改善行为,但在奖励取消后关于持续行为的研究结果不一。
鉴于现有研究的局限性,最有效的激励程序尚不清楚。未来研究应探索各种激励程序在促进初始行为改变和习惯形成方面的有效性,以及可持续激励程序的使用。
