take rest, they should give some time to physical activity and sports. As it is important for every
person to give some time to exercise which will help in keeping body fit and also keeps mind

skeletal muscles, aerobic, muscle strengthening, bone strengthening and stretching. This helps in
keeping a person fit, once in a week an individual person should do exercise to stay healthy.

cognitive theory, COM-B model and health action process approach (Van Cappellen and et.al.,
2018).
Self determination theory: According to this theory people are motivated to grow and
change by universal psychological needs. This theory suggest that people should become self
determined when their needs are fulfilled. It is a macro level theory for motivating human and
helps people in making decision. An individual person should be self motivated and take
initiatives for itself. People working whole day and after that they should give some time for
physical exercise and play sports according to their interest (Brown and et.al., 2020).
