title = "What are the most effective techniques in changing obese individuals{\textquoteright} self-efficacy towards physical activity and their physical activity behaviour: A systematic review and meta-analysis",
abstract = "Background: Increasing self-efficacy is an effective method to increase physical activity. A previous review identified which behaviour change techniques (BCTs) were associated with increases in self-efficacy and physical activity for healthy non-obese adults (e.g. action planning). The aim of this study was to identify which BCTs increase the self-efficacy and physical activity behaviour of obese adults. Methods: A search of two databases identified 34 intervention studies reporting self-efficacy towards engaging in physical activity of obese adults. All intervention descriptions were coded using the Michie et al{\textquoteright}s (2011) 40 item CALO-RE taxonomy of BCTs. Meta-analysis and moderator analyses were conducted to examine the association across studies between whether or not specific BCT{\textquoteright}s were included in interventions, and changes in self-efficacy or physical activity behaviour. Findings: Facilitate social comparison was the only technique that produced positive effects on both self-efficacy and physical activity behaviour (p",
