Motivating factors for physical activity

The purpose of this research study is to examine the intrinsic factors that motivate individuals to exercise. We will investigate whether psychological empowerment mediates the relationship between structural empowerment and physical activity behavior. Empowerment refers to access to information, participation in decisions, and access to resources such as training. Psychological empowerment is based on four cognitions: competence, meaning, impact, and choice. You are being asked to take part in a research study because you are between the ages of 18 and 26 and are a resident of the United States.
