| Annotation | Using a life course perspective, the authors identified perceived events, transitions and trajectories in older adults' lives that contributed to and inhibited continuous participation in physical activities and exercise at three stages of their lives: young, middle and late adulthood. In-depth interviews with nine men and six women provided an understanding of how societal processes and opportunities, life-course roles and transitions, and individual meanings of physical exercise influenced the older adults' perceptions of, and current participation in, physical activity and exercise.
