缺乏身体活动是增加妇女患慢性病、残疾和过早死亡风险的一个主要因素。本研究比较了五个行为咨询（BC）会议的有效性与对照组接受一个BC会议的基础上的五个A（问，建议，协助，安排，并同意），以增加中等强度的体力活动，肌肉强化，拉伸活动。健康促进模式为干预提供了框架。采用前测/后测比较组设计，随机分配46名妇女从城市中西部社区招募。仅在心肺适应性方面发现了显著的组间相互作用（p <0.001）。两组在增加握力、腿部力量和灵活性方面都有显著的时间效应（p <0.001）。BC是一种很有前途的干预措施，可以改变老年妇女的体育活动行为。
Physical inactivity is a major factor in increasing women's risk for chronic disease, disability, and premature mortality. This study compared the effectiveness of five behavioral counseling (BC) sessions with a comparison group receiving one BC session based on the five A's (ask, advise, assist, arrange, and agree) to increase moderate-intensity physical activity, muscle strengthening, and stretching activity. The health promotion model provided the framework for the intervention. A pretest/posttest comparison group design was used, with random assignment of 46 women recruited from an urban midwestern community. A significant group interaction was found only for cardiorespiratory fitness (p < .001). Significant time effects were found (p < .001) for both groups in increasing handgrip, leg strength, and flexibility. BC is a promising intervention to achieve physical activity behavior change with older women.
