Although exercise is beneficial in the older population, leisure physical activity tends to decline with advancing age. Knowledge, attitudes, intentions, expected benefits, beliefs about personal control of health and fitness, perceived barriers to physical activity, and self-efficacy have been associated with participation in physical activity among young and middle-aged adults. These factors and interventions for increasing physical activity have not been well studied in persons aged 65 years or older. Methods to standardize research in this area and combine data with clinical observation are needed to achieve the physical activity objectives set for older adults for the year 2000.
尽管运动对老年人群有益，但休闲体育活动往往会随着年龄的增长而减少。知识、态度、意图、预期益处、对健康和健身个人控制的信念、体育活动的感知障碍以及自我效能感，都与中青年成年人参与体育活动有关。这些因素以及增加体育活动的干预措施在65岁及以上人群中尚未得到充分研究。需要采用标准化该领域研究并将数据与临床观察相结合的方法，以实现为2000年老年人设定的体育活动目标。
