Approximately 50 percent of individuals who start an exercise program withdraw within 6 months. Thus, many individuals withdraw before health benefits have been realized. This is a disconcerting statistic considering the well known benefits of physical activity for decreasing risk of hypokinetic diseases and improving quality of life. The literature has suggested a plethora of factors to increase the number of individuals who initiate a physical activity program. However, little is known about the factors that keep women exercising-otherwise known as exercise adherence. The purpose of this paper is to: (a) systematically review the quantitative literature to discern the major factors contributing to adherence to physical activity in women and men and make recommendations for specific gender-based considerations that are important when designing PA interventions for women, and (b) suggest areas of future research related to increasing adherence to physical activity in women. Key factors reviewed in this paper may be useful in developing efficacious physical activity programs for women.
开始锻炼计划的人中有约50%会在6个月内退出。因此，许多人在尚未实现健康益处之前就退出了。考虑到体育活动在降低运动不足疾病风险和改善生活质量方面的众所周知的益处，这是一个令人不安的统计数据。文献中提出了大量因素来增加开始体育活动计划的人数。然而，对于促使女性坚持锻炼（即运动坚持性）的因素却知之甚少。本文的目的是：(a) 系统回顾定量文献，以识别影响男性和女性坚持体育活动的主要因素，并为设计针对女性的体育活动干预措施时重要的基于性别的具体考量提出建议；(b) 提出与提高女性体育活动坚持性相关的未来研究领域。本文所回顾的关键因素可能有助于为女性制定有效的体育活动计划。
