Goal-setting | Specific behavioral goals for exercise performance were formulated by the participants in terms of exercise frequency, intensity, time and/or type. Goal-setting was regularly performed and the frequency was adjusted to individual needs. |
Self-monitoring | Endurance and resistance training sessions were monitored and recorded by the participants in training logs. The logs included notes and reflections on situations when the participants actually performed the session, when they did not, and the subsequent consequences. |
Action planning | Regular exercise planning specifying when, where and how to exercise were performed, based on interviews about previous exercise habits. |
Review of behavioral goals | Behavioral goals were regularly reviewed to check if they were easily reached. Adjustments of goal-setting were made if the participant’s performance did not correspond to agreed goals. |
Problem solving | Analyses of participants’ training logs with the coaches and identification of strategies to overcome barriers were performed concurrent with individual goal-setting and short-term action planning. A written long-term coping planning was developed at the end of the intervention, including strategies for overcoming barriers and using facilitators. |
