A mixed methods evaluation of a single-arm trial (N=62) investigated self-selected exercise goals during a physical activity intervention for midlife women with elevated CVD risk.
Observational (n=62)
Women's risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) increases during midlife, partly due to limited physical activity (PA). Overall or lifestyle PA can be cardioprotective and more sustainable than structured exercise for this population, though little is known about setting exercise goals during broader PA promotion and how these relate to women's PA experiences. We used a mixed methods approach to address these questions, via secondary analysis of data from a single-arm trial (NCT06350604; N = 62, M
Benasi et al. (Wed,) conducted a observational in elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (n=62). broader physical activity intervention with self-selected exercise goals was evaluated. A mixed methods evaluation of a single-arm trial (N=62) investigated self-selected exercise goals during a physical activity intervention for midlife women with elevated CVD risk.
