Abstract des Autors
We investigated the relationship between subjective physical age and planning strategies for physical activity which can help to translate behavioral intentions for physical activity into behavior. Cross-sectional data from a mostly healthy population (N = 437) with a broad age range were analyzed (26 - 86 years, Mage = 48.24, SDage = 12.07). The model displays that subjective physical age is interrelated with action planning and chronological age is interrelated with coping planning. In addition, subjective physical age also has an indirect effect on coping planning. Findings suggest differential cognitions for both planning strategies which can help to further advance research and intervention development in multidisciplinary physical activity research. They also highlight the potential importance of subjective physical age for planning strategies to engage in physical activity.
