Despite the widely known benefits of physical activity (PA), most adults are insufficiently active and have difficulty maintaining new exercise programs. Understanding factors related to PA in previously sedentary exercise initiates may improve interventions designed to increase consistent PA. One factor might be the extent to which individuals experience meaning in their lives on a daily basis. Individuals living lives with more experienced meaning, or meaning salience, may be more likely to engage in health behaviors including PA. This process is consistent with Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a theory of behavior regulation and motivation that states that more internally regulated behaviors are more likely to be maintained. This study examined processes (i.e., meaning in the context of SDT) that may be associated with PA maintenance. Previously sedentary exercise initiates (N=160; M age=43.3 years, SD=11.4 years; 76.9% female) participated in a randomized controlled trial of a 4-week daily self-monitoring of meaning, mood, and PA condition compared to a random survey control as they began a self-initiated exercise program. Participants completed surveys at baseline, 4-weeks, and 12-weeks and fitness assessments at baseline and 12-weeks. Multilevel mixed models and path analytic methods were used to analyze data. Results revealed no significant differences between the self-monitoring and control groups on PA or M/P. Within day analyses revealed that greater daily meaning salience was significantly related to greater daily PA duration, beta=.21, p<.0001, and intensity, beta=.21, p<.0001, and greater likelihood of visiting the fitness center, Odds Ratio=1.48 (95% CI=1.18,1.86), p=.0008. Longitudinal path analytic models suggest that SDT variables accounted for a significant proportion of the variance in PA. Modified models revealed that baseline meaning significantly predicted greater change in PA from baseline to 4-weeks, beta=.20, p=.02. However, meaning was not related to change in PA from 4-weeks to 12-weeks. Results suggest that meaning salience plays an important role in PA participation in previously sedentary exercise initiates. Findings related to global ratings of meaning are mixed, suggesting that global ratings of meaning may not be as important as meaning salience. Future research should examine meaning salience over longer observation periods and meaning-based interventions in exercise initiates.
