Can the Theory of Planned Behavior, predict possible differences in
physical activity involvement during COVID-19 lockdown? A preliminary
study
Abstract
This preliminary study aimed to investigate the contribution of the
Theory of Planned Behavior to the prediction of attitudes and intention
of adult involvement with physical activity during the Pandemic. The
sample consisted of 904 individuals, 417 men, and 487 women, aged 18-70
years. Participants completed the Greek version of the “Theory of
Planned Behavior” questionnaire. The analyses revealed differences
between previous and during COVID-19 physical involvement in (a)
attitudes, (b) intention, (c) attitude strength, (d) self-identity, and
(e) subjective norms, of the sample.
