Making active living plans (lower order theme)
As with previous PA experiences, participants highlighted the importance of enjoyment and choice when it came to making future PA plans. Making plans and goal-setting were more common at 12-and-24-months. This is potentially due to completion of the REACT programme, encouragement from REACT session leaders and an increased sense of importance of an active lifestyle. For some participants, goal-setting was not easy to adopt, preferring to exercise when they could, rather than creating additional pressures by goal-setting and committing to action plans. Alternatively, other participants recognised the importance of goal-setting and action-planning to achieve their PA targets. Some participants suggested that goal-setting is a personality trait, while others reported that they had learned to set goals during the REACT programme.
