Physical Activity Decision-Making in Older Adults

Abstract The study investigated whether or not self-perceptions of physical reality and motivational disposition and orientation affect personal decisions regarding exercise behavior in four hypothetical everyday-life situations. Twenty-four (14 women and 10 men) older (mean age 75 years) volunteer participants from Canada and Germany were interviewed. The responses were subjected to a qualitative content analysis. The data showed that all participants were physically active and perceived themselves as physically fit. However, their level of involvement varied immensely. The participants' self-evaluation of the level of physical fitness corresponded with their observations of the energy requirements for the activities in which they participated.
