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.

We conclude by presenting a framework for researchers to test whether a particular behavioral theory holds use in the PA domain.
