General theories of self-regulation such as the Control Theory are supplemented by developmental self-regulatory theories such as the Theory of Selection, Optimisation, and Compensation in explaining the regulation of physical activity (PA). In the context of PA interventions, two important self-regulatory strategies are self-monitoring and planning. There is research indicating that self-regulation interventions effectively promote PA in older adults. However, there is also a body of evidence showing the limitations of these interventions in this age group. Possible interactions of self-regulation capacity with age-related changes in cognition, motivation, as well as physical functioning in the context of PA are discussed. | Source Title: | The Palgrave Handbook of Ageing and Physical Activity Promotion | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/140662 | ISBN: | 978-3-319-71291-8 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-3-319-71291-8_14 |
