| Annotation | Nearly 61% of older adults do not maintain recommended physical exercise levels emphasising the need for interventions that promote exercise. This study aimed to compare self-reported exercise behaviour and functional outcomes over one year across three groups of older adults: a cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) group, an attention-control education group and a control group. All three groups received exercise training three times per week for two weeks and then once a week for eight weeks, during which time the therapy and education groups received their interventions. Blinded data collectors measured follow-up exercise behaviour and functional outcomes at three-month intervals. Compared to the control group both the CBT and exercise group did better on self-reported strengthening exercises. Unexpectedly, the control group outperformed the CBT and education groups on their six-minute walking distance. (JL). |
