SUMMARY:

Despite the recognition of the positive health effects of regular physical activity, one-third of adults worldwide have insufficient levels of physical activity. Dual-process models seek to understand physical activity behavior via automatic affective and reflective processes, formed from experiences of pleasure or displeasure during activity, and regulated by inhibitory control. In this thesis, we included four studies that investigated the role of automatic affective, reflective and cognitive processes in physical exercise in adults and in movement behavior in older adults. In the first study, we reviewed the application of the dual-process model to physical activity in older adults. In the second study, we compared the chronic effects of different intensities of aerobic physical exercise on the inhibitory control of physically inactive overweight and obese adults. In the third study, we investigated the initial impact of 3 months of the COVID-19 pandemic on reflective processes related to physical activity, and explored the possible changes in these processes with physical activity and sedentary behavior of older adults with hypertension. In the fourth study, we associated the implicit-explicit discrepancy with physical activity and sedentary behavior in older adults and investigated the moderating role of inhibitory control in this association. In summary, our studies demonstrate that inhibitory control can be improved with regular aerobic exercise, and both automatic affective and reflective processes contribute to physical activity behavior via inhibitory control. These results support the main predictions of dual-process theories.
