This study investigated the associations of personal goals with exercise activity, as well as the relationships between exercise-related and other personal goals, among older women. Both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs were used with a sample of 308 women ages 66-79 at baseline. Women who reported exercise-related personal goals were 4 times as likely to report high exercise activity at baseline than those who did not report exercise-related goals. Longitudinal results were parallel. Goals related to cultural activities, as well as to busying oneself around the home, coincided with exercise-related goals, whereas goals related to own and other people's health and independent living lowered the odds of having exercise-related goals. Helping older adults to set realistic exercise-related goals that are compatible with their other life goals may yield an increase in their exercise activity, but this should be evaluated in a controlled trial.
本研究调查了老年女性个人目标与体育活动之间的关联，以及与运动相关的个人目标和其他个人目标之间的关系。研究采用了横断面研究和纵向研究设计，基线样本为308名年龄在66 - 79岁之间的女性。报告有与运动相关个人目标的女性在基线时报告高体育活动水平的可能性是未报告与运动相关目标女性的4倍。纵向研究结果与之相似。与文化活动以及在家中忙碌相关的目标与运动相关目标一致，而与自己和他人健康以及独立生活相关的目标则降低了拥有与运动相关目标的几率。帮助老年人设定与他们的其他生活目标相契合的现实的运动相关目标，可能会增加他们的体育活动，但这一点应在对照试验中进行评估。
