2023, Heart and LungCitation Excerpt :These present findings imply that increased ambivalence may detect those with low physical activity and thus who are at risk for poor long-term health outcomes. This consideration is important because adolescent self-report of physical activity is unreliable,41 and lack of time and training prevent cardiology providers from discussing physical activity during clinical encounters.42 Hence, brief screening of correlates of low physical activity (e.g., ambivalence) may help clinicians identify those most likely to benefit from physical activity-related education, thereby conserving resources.
