Attitudinal, perceptual, and normative beliefs influencing the exercise decisions of community-dwelling physically frail seniors

For seniors, an inactive lifestyle can result in declines in mental and physical functioning, loss of independence, and poorer quality of life.

description For seniors, an inactive lifestyle can result in declines in mental and physical functioning, loss of independence, and poorer quality of life. This cross-sectional descriptive study examined theory-of-planned-behavior, health-status, and sociodemographic predictors on exercise intention and behavior among 109 older and physically frail adults. Significant predictors of being a high versus a low active were a strong intention to continue exercising, positive indirect attitudes about exercise, and having been advised by a doctor to exercise. Findings indicate that a strong intention to continue exercising differentiates between those who report low levels and those who report high levels of physical activity. The results also highlight the salience of physician's advice for seniors to exercise.
