A large fitness center setting was used to test the effects of a computer feedback system (FitLinxx Interactive Fitness Network) on adherence to exercise, attendance, and dropout. Healthy mixed-sex adult participants were evaluated on their maintenance of newly prescribed exercise. The control group (n = 71) used standard exercise tracking and feedback during exercise sessions. The treatment group (n = 93) used a specifically designed computer-based system that provided enhanced tracking, goal setting, and feedback. Analysis indicated significantly higher attendance and adherence in the treatment group who also had fewer dropouts by month, a larger number of days before dropout, and less over-all dropout (46%) over the 8 months tested. Discussion concerning the application of computerized feedback systems for maximizing clients' adherence within physical and cardiac rehabilitation and general fitness settings was given. Additional direct testing with different sample types and motivation was suggested.
在一个大型健身中心环境中，测试了计算机反馈系统（FitLinxx交互式健身网络）对运动坚持性、出勤率和退出率的影响。对健康的成年混合性别参与者进行新规定运动维持情况的评估。对照组（n = 71）在锻炼期间使用标准的运动跟踪和反馈。治疗组（n = 93）使用专门设计的基于计算机的系统，该系统提供增强的跟踪、目标设定和反馈。分析表明，治疗组的出勤率和坚持性显著更高，按月份计算退出人数更少，退出前的天数更多，并且在8个月的测试期内总体退出率更低（46%）。文中讨论了在身体和心脏康复以及一般健身环境中应用计算机化反馈系统以最大限度提高客户坚持性的问题。建议对不同样本类型和动机进行额外的直接测试。
