背景：尽管运动有潜在的好处，但老年人的运动率仍然很低。自我效能期望是与锻炼行为或锻炼行为变化最相关的。目标：开发和测试老年人锻炼模型的预测能力。方法：该模型与锻炼和自我效能感相关的结构包括预期结果、感知锻炼障碍、感知健康、年龄、65 - 100岁的成年人中终身休闲运动（N = 147）结果：自我效能期望对体育锻炼有较强的直接作用。结果预期对模型中的锻炼贡献很小。知觉障碍、自我效能期望、年龄对运动成绩的影响最大。结论：终身休闲运动通过自我效能信念对运动产生影响，进一步强调了效能的重要性。同样重要的是运动的障碍。进一步的研究应该检查自我效能的期望，感知的障碍，和年龄作为老年人在不同阶段的健康行为变化的运动预测。
Background: Despite the potential benefits of exercise, rates of exercise among older adults remain low. Self-efficacy expectation is the strongest correlate of exercise behavior or exercise behavior change.Objectives: To develop and test the predictive ability of a model of exercise among older adults.Method: The model's constructs related to exercise and self-efficacy included outcome expectancy, perceived barriers to exercise, perceived health, age, and lifelong leisure exercise among adults 65 to 100 years years of age (N = 147). Data were collected by personal interview and analyzed with path analysis.Results: Self-efficacy expectation had a strong direct effect on exercise. Outcome expectancy contributed little to exercise in the model. Perceived barriers and self-efficacy expectation, followed by age, exerted the most total influence on exercise scores.Conclusions: Lifelong leisure exercise exerts its influence on exercise through self-efficacy beliefs, further emphasizing the importance of efficacy. Also important are perceived barriers to exercise. Further research should examine self-efficacy expectations, perceived barriers, and age as predictors of exercise among older adults at different stages of health behavior change.
