Perceived barriers and facilitators to exercise adherence in osteoarthritis: A thematic synthesis of qualitative studies
This study highlights the multifaceted cognitive, social, and environmental factors influencing exercise adherence in individuals with OA. The findings suggest that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach is insufficient for promoting sustained exercise engagement. Future quantitative research should build upon these insights to develop tailored strategies for enhancing exercise adherence in people with OA.
