Identified predictors warrant no practice change yet; hypothesis-generating for trials targeting barriers to sustain exercise in women.
Observational (n=60)
Comorbidity, instrumental social support, and perceived benefits or barriers are key predictors of exercise maintenance in women following cardiac rehabilitation.
Moore et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Cardiac rehabilitation (n=60). Predictors of exercise maintenance was evaluated on Exercise maintenance over 3 months. Following completion of a cardiac rehabilitation program, only 48% of women were exercising at 3 months, with comorbidity, social support, and perceived barriers predicting exercise maintenance.
