Department of Kinesiology and Community Health, University of Illinois, 906 S Goodwin Avenue, Urbana IL 61801, USA

Psychosom Med 72:88-96. 2010..To examine the role of self-efficacy and depression as potential pathways from physical activity to fatigue in two study samples: breast cancer survivors (BCS) (n = 192) and individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) (n = 292)... - Assessing outcome expectations in older adults: the multidimensional outcome expectations for exercise scaleThomas R Wojcicki
Department of Kinesiology and Community Health, University of Illinois, Urbana, 61801, USA
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci 64:33-40. 2009..Further evidence of validity and application to social cognitive models of physical activity is warranted... - Trajectory of declines in physical activity in community-dwelling older women: social cognitive influencesEdward McAuley
