The striated muscles referred to do not ordinarily involve the cardiac muscles. Behaviour can be an MoA or outcome depending on how 'behaviour' is described in an intervention. The Behaviour Change-Intervention Ontology includes the class 'outcome behaviour' (definition: Human behavior that is an intervention outcome.), which would not be an MoA. When an intervention targets one behaviour to achieve an outcome behaviour (e.g. exercise for smoking cessation), the former qualifies as an MoA.
