Mapping the Dynamics of Inhibitors and Facilitators of Exercise Behavior Within the Transtheoretical Model: Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study Using Text Mining Analysis
This study enhances our understanding of the dynamic mechanisms underlying exercise behavior change by identifying how specific inhibitors and facilitators vary across behavioral stages. The findings underscore the need to tailor interventions based on individuals' readiness to change, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all strategies. For both practitioners and policymakers, incorporating behavioral stage frameworks into assessments and interventions, such as those conducted during health checkups or workplace programs, may improve the effectiveness and sustainability of physical activity promotion.
