Health Behavior Model:
I would find that this examination would be best served by the values
of the health belief model. This is an appropriate way to gain a better
understanding of what causes people to make certain health behavior
decisions, such as those which are likely to incline individuals who have
previously refrained from physical activity for so long to make serious and
immediate lifestyle changes. It seems reasonable to deduce that a
perspective through this model might help to reveal such possible causes
for a sedentary lifestyle as scheduling demands, physical injuries or a
personal aversion to physical activity. The use of the health belief model
should contribute to the construction of an examination that seeks to alter
negative health behavior by isolating such root causes and establishing
empirical connections for subjected individuals between patterns and
consequences. Ultimately, the illumination of such connections could be
considered a valuable means to encouraging people to make potentially life-
saving changes
Experiential Value:
Ultimately, the core value rendered by this experimental design would
be in the fulfillment of its terms and the directly resultant sense of a
multifaceted improvement in such personal conditions as health, energy,
focus and disposition.
These would ultimately go a long way to suggest
that I would be wise to adopt the experimental health behavior as a regular
part of a lifestyle and health regiment.
Conclusion:
It seems appropriate to resolve that the reinforcement of one's
belief in the value of regular exercise may go a long way to assisting one
in finding ways to obtain this value. This study yield the promise that
further study in the study subject might yield yet further benefits through
more rigorous or refined exercise programs.
