This study examines the differential age effects on physical exercise of two planning interventions, action planning (when, where, how) and coping planning (anticipating barriers, mental simulation of success scenarios), and examines the mediating mechanisms of the interventions.
The study assigned the participants, 205 cardiac rehabilitation patients, to one of the intervention groups (action-planning only or combined-planning group) or to a control group. Baseline measurement and follow-up took place 2 months apart.
The interventions enhanced physical exercise independently of age. Pretreatment coping planning was higher in older (65-82 years) than in younger (38-54 years) or middle-aged (55-64 years) participants. At Time 2, older participants were the only ones without further increase in coping planning. Advancement in coping planning partially mediated the effect of the intervention.
Coping planning facilitates improvement of physical exercise. Implications of age differences in planning are discussed.
本研究考察了两种规划干预措施（行动规划[何时、何地、如何做]和应对规划[预期障碍、成功情景的心理模拟]）对体育锻炼的不同年龄效应，并考察了这些干预措施的中介机制。
该研究将205名心脏康复患者分配到其中一个干预组（仅行动规划组或联合规划组）或对照组。基线测量和随访间隔2个月进行。
这些干预措施促进了体育锻炼，且与年龄无关。老年（65 - 82岁）参与者的预处理应对规划高于年轻（38 - 54岁）或中年（55 - 64岁）参与者。在第2阶段，老年参与者是唯一应对规划没有进一步增加的人群。应对规划的进展部分介导了干预效果。
应对规划有助于体育锻炼的改善。文中讨论了规划中年龄差异的影响。
