The CPAFLA is based on the assumption that people are at various stages of readiness with regard to making attitudinal (how people think and feel about physical activity, exercise and fitness) and behavioural (action-oriented) changes in their lives and recognizes that a number of health determinants, client awareness, knowledge and attitudes must be addressed prior to implementing action-oriented interventions. The CPAFLA provides you with tools to assist a process of change designed to increase or improve healthy lifestyle behaviors and physical activity levels.
