Individuals start and stick with an exercise program for a multitude of reasons. Which attribute is NOT a positive predictor of exercise adherence and participation?
  1. Body weight
  2. Past and current participation in physical activity
  3. Self-motivation
  4. Perception and knowledge of one’s health
Explanation
Answer: A - Individuals who are overweight, especially those with morbid obesity, are typically less active than those of normal weight and are less likely to adhere to an exercise program. Prior participation in physical activity is the most reliable predictor of participation in an exercise program. Individuals with positive attitudes and beliefs are also more likely to continue to exercise, as are those with strong social support, access to a nearby facility and the time to participate.
