The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of participation in the Wellness--Paths to Health Physical Fitness Program on selected physiological and personal health variables including blood pressure, pulse, body weight, trunk flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, abdominal strength, percent body fat and a cumulative fitness score. The subjects (N = 129) of this study were divided into four levels of adherence to this exercise-based health program. Data analysis examined relationships between adherence levels and changes in the selected physiological and personal health variables across two measures. In addition, data from high-risk participants were analyzed. The results of the study found statistical significant changes in the selected variables between repeated assessment measures. In addition, statistically significant relationships were found between levels of adherence to the program and six of the dependent variables.
本研究的目的是检验参与“健康——通往健康的健身计划”对选定的生理和个人健康变量的影响，这些变量包括血压、脉搏、体重、躯干柔韧性、心血管耐力、腹部力量、体脂百分比和累积健身得分。本研究的受试者（N = 129）被分为四个对这个基于运动的健康计划的依从水平。数据分析考察了两个测量指标下依从水平与选定的生理和个人健康变量变化之间的关系。此外，还对高风险参与者的数据进行了分析。研究结果发现，重复评估测量之间选定变量存在统计学上的显著变化。此外，还发现该计划的依从水平与六个因变量之间存在统计学上的显著关系。
