AI Article Synopsis
- - The study tested different strategies (information, action planning, realistic effort action planning or REAP) to improve exercise among underactive university students (221 participants) through small-group sessions and pedometer tracking.
- - Results showed that both action planning and REAP led to higher average steps after three weeks compared to just receiving information.
- - Over time, REAP showed medium-sized increases in exercise at two and six months, suggesting that tailored action plans that include evaluating past efforts can effectively boost college students' exercise habits.
Article Abstract
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.

Background: Emerging research indicates that gut microbiota (GM) are pivotal in the regulation of immune-mediated bone diseases. Nonunion, a bone metabolic disorder, has an unclear causal relationship with GM and immune cells. This study aims to elucidate the causal relationship between GM and nonunion using Mendelian Randomization (MR) and to explore the mediating role of immune cells.

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are catastrophic phenomena that constantly threaten populations settled in the tropics. Their direct effects (strong winds, storm surges, and intense precipitation) are confined near the TC center. On the other hand, the indirect effects are due to extreme rainfall events associated with rainbands distant from the TC center.

Youth participatory action research is founded on the assumption that young people are capable of being researchers who can co-create knowledge and act to change the world. It is a worldview as well as a research approach and can be initiated to co-produce knowledge, facilitate critical thinking, promote the evaluation of social systems and/or act against social oppression.
