Historical Context:

126 subjects filled out questionnaires designed to identify individuals who intended to exercise regularly but did not were assigned to either a control group or one of two treatment groups. The first treatment group (TR1) viewed a videotape consisting of up-to-date exercise information. They received information emphasizing the idea exercise does not have to be tiresome. The second group (TR2) received identical treatment and received time-management information to assist in incorporating regular exercise into weekly schedules. Telephone follow-up after one month showed significant differences between exercise habits of control group and TR2 only. Results are interpred as indicating that with appropriate intervention, barriers preventing regular exercise can be removed by persons who have intentions to exercise.
