Effect of exercise for depression: systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (2024, methodology): “30 Behaviour change techniques such as self-monitoring and action planning have been shown to influence the effects of physical activity interventions in adults (>18 years) 31 and older adults (>60 years) 32 with differing effectiveness of techniques in different populations.”
A meta-analysis of self-determination theory-informed intervention studies in the health domain: effects on motivation, health behavior, physical, and psychological health (2020, methodology): “We also coded 43 behaviour change techniques (BCTs), using the taxonomy proposed by Michie et al. (2013), to examine whether the moderating role of SDT-based strategies was confounded with the co-delivery of specific BCTs.”
