Which would not be an example of techniques used to build physical activity self-efficacy? A. Maintain a physical activity log to help track successes and progressions. B. Provide exposure to vicarious experiences. C. Help identify barriers of physical activity and exercise. D. Encourage perseverance and praise efforts to achieve goals, not just the attainment of goals.

From all the options A to D, one of the best techniques to build physical activity self-efficacy is to provide exposure to vicarious experiences. When we see people around us that we ca relate to excelling in their physical activities and exercises, it can stir us up. Other options are also very great techniques which involves doing something. You can only maintain a physical activity log if you are actually exercising and it is good to track your successes as this helps to promote more successes. However, simply identifying barriers of physical activity and exercise is not an option enough to promote self-efficacy. It is not identifying that is the problem, it is finding a solution that matters.
