Hi everyone,

I am preparing a presentation on correspondence training to increase
exercise behavior for the ABA convention in Atlanta (hope to see you all
there!). I've been reading through sports psychology and behavior analysis
research to compile a very brief review of past research that focuses on
exercise as the primary behavior targeted for change. Sports psych
literature is plentiful, but everything in ABA seems to use exercise as
antecedent, part of a treatment package, or contingent punishment. I
haven't found any studies yet that intervene to directly change exercise
behavior. But, I certainly don't want to make a sweeping statement that ABA
hasn't targeted exercise as the dependent variable if it's not true!
(Bobby, did you tell me about a Karate study you did?)

My question: Do you have any knowledge of published behavior analysis
studies that target exercise as the dependent variable?

I'd appreciate any leads or suggestions.
Thanks! Looking forward to Atlanta,
Elise Cooke
