Effective behavior change approaches are necessary to help individuals avoid or mitigate risk factors, engage in behavioral patterns that lead to better health, and consequently, prevent several chronic diseases. Physical inactivity is considered one of the most harmful risk factors for chronic medical conditions, and although different strategies are used to tackle this behavior, not all of them lead to the expected or desired results. This brief commentary examines recent approaches aimed at physical activity behavior change. We find that a combination of strategies focusing on streamlining the access to physical activity seems to be more effective than individual approaches, in order to increase physical activity engagement to prevent chronic diseases in adults.
有效的行为改变方法对于帮助个人避免或减轻风险因素、养成有助于改善健康的行为模式并进而预防多种慢性疾病是必要的。身体缺乏活动被认为是慢性疾病最有害的风险因素之一，尽管人们采用了不同策略来应对这种行为，但并非所有策略都能带来预期或理想的效果。这篇简短评论探讨了近期旨在改变身体活动行为的方法。我们发现，为了增加成年人的身体活动参与度以预防慢性疾病，聚焦于简化身体活动获取途径的多种策略组合似乎比单一方法更有效。
