In Brief As behavioral physical activity (PA) research matures, the adaptation and augmentation of theories with PA-specific concepts are required to improve explanatory power and to justify the uniqueness of the discipline. This review details the advances of three prominent theories applied to understand PA. We conclude by presenting a framework for researchers to test whether a particular behavioral theory holds use in the PA domain. This review details the advances of three prominent theories applied to understand physical activity, along with a framework for future theory testing.
