Understanding regular exercise behavior in frail older adults: a structural equation model based on social-cognitive variables
Our study underscores that adherence to regular and structured exercise regimens remains low among frail older adults, suggesting that this population may not be fully benefiting from scientifically guided exercise programs. Integrating self-efficacy and outcome expectations into further exercise promotion is critical. Patient-centered approach is essential for developing more effective and sustainable exercise interventions.
