Abstract

Fiziksel aktivite danışmanlığında bireylerin hedeflenen fiziksel aktivite seviyelerine ulaşabilmeleri için kalıcı davranış değişikliğine ihtiyaçları vardır. Bireylerde davranış değişikliği oluşturmak için gerçekçi, uygulanabilir hedefler belirlemek önemlidir. Aktivite atıştırmalığı olarak da bilinen “Snacktivity” yaklaşımı fiziksel aktivite davranışında küçük farklılıklar sağlayarak kalıcı değişiklikleri hedefler. Ayrıca bu yaklaşım günlük hayata uyarlanabilen basit, kısa süreli aktivitelerle sedanter davranışın ve aktivite bariyerlerinin engellenmesine yardımcı olur. Uygun yer, zaman ve ekipman olmadığı için egzersiz yapamadığını ifade eden sedanter bireylerde hiç fiziksel aktivite yapamamaktansa küçük aktivite sürelerinin birleştirilmesi yoluyla hedeflenen fiziksel aktivite seviyesine ulaşılması sağlanır. Toplumda fiziksel aktivite düzeyinin arttırılmasının önemli bir halk sağlığı politikası olduğu düşünüldüğünde “Snacktivity” yaklaşımı kayda değer bir konudur. Bu derleme “Snacktivity” yaklaşımının fiziksel aktivite danışmanlığındaki rolüne odaklanarak farkındalık oluşturmayı hedeflemektedir.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY COUNSELING: “SNACKTIVITY”

Abstract

Individuals need permanent behavioral changes in physical activity counseling to reach targeted physical activity levels.Determining reasonable and applicable goals for creating behavior change in individuals is critical. The “Snacktivity” approach, also known as “activity snacks”, targets permanent changes by providing small modifications in physical activity behavior. In addition, this approach helps to prevent sedentary behavior and activity barriers by using simple, short-term activities that can be adapted to daily life. The targeted activity is achieved by accumulating small activity snacks rather than being unable to do any activity in sedentary individuals who state they cannot do activities due to the lack of appropriate place, time, and equipment.Considering that increasing physical activity levels in the community is an important public health policy, the "Snacktivity" approach is a notable issue. This review aims to raise awareness by focusing on the role of the "Snacktivity" approach in physical activity counseling.
