The study examined the effect of a weight control intervention on BMI, physical activity levels, and psychological variables toward physical activity. Thirty-three middle-aged obese women participated in the 16-week weight control intervention. Results indicated that the participants' BMI significantly decreased and physical activity levels significantly increased over the intervention. Moreover, exercise self-efficacy and perceived benefits toward physical activity significantly increased, but perceived barriers of physical activity gradually decreased over the intervention. The study suggests that it is important to consider not only physical activity itself, but also the various psychological variables when planning and implementing the weight control program.
该研究考察了体重控制干预对身体质量指数（BMI）、身体活动水平以及与身体活动相关的心理变量的影响。33名中年肥胖女性参与了为期16周的体重控制干预。结果表明，在干预期间，参与者的BMI显著下降，身体活动水平显著提高。此外，运动自我效能感和对身体活动的感知益处显著增加，但在干预过程中，对身体活动的感知障碍逐渐减少。该研究表明，在规划和实施体重控制计划时，不仅要考虑身体活动本身，还要考虑各种心理变量，这一点很重要。
