| Annotation | It was hypothesised that gender, marital status, chronic illness, mental and physical health, self-efficacy and outcome expectations, fear of falling, and past exercise behaviour was directly and/or indirectly associated with current exercise behaviour. Interviews with 201 older people living in a continuing care retirement community found that the model accounted for 40% of the variance in exercise behaviour. Self-efficacy expectations, outcome expectations, and previous exercise were directly associated with current exercise, health status, gender; and marital status was individually associated with current exercise behaviour through self-efficacy and outcome expectations. Recognising and treating mental and physical health problems may directly influence self-efficacy and outcome expectations related to exercise. (RH). |
