Objective. To explore exercise preferences in stroke survivors and controls. Methods. A novel scale-the Exercise Preference Questionnaire-was developed for this study. This questionnaire, together with established assessments of physical activities, mood, and quality of life, was completed in a single assessment session. Results. Twenty-three adult stroke survivors (mean age 63, 65% male) and 41 healthy controls (mean age 61, 66% male) participated. The groups differed on 4 of the 5 a priori exercise preference factors: relative to controls, stroke survivors preferred exercise to be more structured, in a group, at a gym or fitness centre, and for exercises to be demonstrated. Factor analysis yielded 6 data-driven factors, and these factors also differentiated stroke and control groups. There was evidence that group differences were diminished when activity levels and psychological wellbeing were accounted for. Individual variability in exercise preferences and reported barriers to exercise are outlined. Conclusion. Stroke survivors have different exercise preferences, and a better understanding of these preferences can be used to inform rehabilitation programs and increase adherence.
目的。探讨中风幸存者和对照组的运动偏好。方法。本研究开发了一种新的量表——运动偏好问卷。该问卷与已有的身体活动、情绪和生活质量评估一起，在一次评估中完成。结果。23名成年中风幸存者（平均年龄63岁，65%为男性）和41名健康对照者（平均年龄61岁，66%为男性）参与了研究。在5个先验运动偏好因素中的4个方面，两组存在差异：与对照组相比，中风幸存者更喜欢结构化的运动、集体运动、在健身房或健身中心运动，以及有示范的运动。因子分析产生了6个数据驱动的因素，这些因素也区分了中风组和对照组。有证据表明，当考虑到活动水平和心理健康时，组间差异会减小。概述了运动偏好的个体差异以及报告的运动障碍。结论。中风幸存者有不同的运动偏好，更好地了解这些偏好可用于为康复计划提供信息并提高依从性。
