Abstract(s)

The Self-Determination Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior have proved to be significant approaches to explain exercise persistence. While the main constructs of these frameworks are generally accepted, it has been suggested in recent studies that the integration of more constructs would benefit in terms of explanatory power [1]. Among existing measures, past behaviors seems to have an important role on the prediction of future behavior [2]. Thus, this study examined the effect of past behavior on basic psychological needs, behavioral regulations, and intentions towards exercise persistence.
