Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) interventions for promoting physical activity: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis examines the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) interventions in promoting physical activity. The authors note that while ACT shows promise for increasing physical activity, few of its active ingredients can be characterized as Behavior Change Techniques (BCTs). The resource suggests that future development should focus on describing and naming the specific ACT processes and BCTs used.
