According to the transtheoretical model, a person in the precontemplation stage

b. is aware of the problem and is making preparations for change
c. is aware of the problem and is already taking action to implement change
d. has no current intention to change or believes there is no need to change

d. has no current intention to change or believes there is no need to change

Explanation:

The Prochaska and DiClemente Transtheoretical Model is a theory that aims to describe readiness for change in the stages through which the individual transits throughout his life.

According to the transtheoretical model, Precontemplation is a stage in which there is no intention of change, not even a critique of the conflict involving behavior considered a problem. Generally speaking, the person at this stage does not even view his behavior as a problem and can be called 'resistant' or 'in denial'. For example, in the case of physical activity, a criterion for diagnosing this phase would be physical inactivity and the absence of intention to become active in the next 6 months. The aim of the action is awareness and the supporting strategy is the development of thoughts about change, risks and benefits.

From this we can conclude that according to the transtheoretical model, a person in the pre-contemplation phase has no current intention to change or believes that there is no need to change.

no, because those are both different running competitions. while distance runners train their legs and their lungs to run long amounts of time, the sprinters are training their legs and their lungs to give all they have in the little amount of area they need to cover. the brain also plays a huge part in all of this.

the brain is the only thing in your body that sends messages to your body telling you to run. if you are a long distance runner and you have the mind set of a sprinter, you will not get anywhere. if you have a long distance mind set and you have to run 200m in 20 seconds then you will not make it in time.
