The efficacy of effort appraisal exercise action plans was tested among underactive and inactive university students ( = 221). Students were randomized across three conditions (information, action planning, or realistic effort action planning (REAP)) and participated in psychoeducational small-group sessions. Students returned after a three-week pedometer tracking period and at two and six months to assess self-reported exercise. Greater three-week step averages were observed for the action planning and REAP conditions compared to the information condition. The information condition showed small-sized exercise increases at two and six months ( = .26, = .35, s < .05); the action planning condition showed a small-sized increase at six months ( = . 36, < 05); and the REAP condition showed medium-sized increases at two and six months ( = .40, = . 46, s < .05). The findings provide initial evidence showing exercise action plans for college students might be improved with explicit appraisals of prior effort and persistence.
在不活跃和不活跃的大学生中测试了努力评估练习行动计划的效果（ = 221）。学生随机分为三组（信息组、行动计划组或现实努力行动计划组（REAP）），并参加心理教育小组课程。在佩戴计步器跟踪三周后，学生返回并在两个月和六个月时评估自我报告的锻炼情况。与信息组相比，行动计划组和 REAP 组的平均每周步数增加更多。信息组在两个月和六个月时显示出较小的运动量增加（ = .26， = .35，s < .05）；行动计划组在六个月时显示出较小的增加（ = . 36， < 05）；REAP 组在两个月和六个月时显示出中等幅度的增加（ = .40， = .46，s < .05）。研究结果初步表明，对于大学生来说，锻炼行动计划可能会通过对先前努力和坚持的明确评估而得到改善。
