The (over)use of SMART goals for physical activity promotion
a narrative review and critique
Swann, C., Jackman, P.C., & Lawrence, A. (2022). The (over)use of SMART goals for physical activity promotion: a narrative review and critique. Health psychology review
This review suggests that the SMART acronym: is not based on scientific theory; is not consistent with empirical evidence; does not consider what type of goal is set; is not applied consistently; is lacking detailed guidance; has redundancy in its criteria; is not being used as originally intended; and has a risk of potentially harmful effects. These issues are likely leading to sub-optimal outcomes, confusion, and inconsistency. Recommendations are provided to guide the field towards better practice and, ultimately, more effective goal setting interventions to help individuals become physically active.
