Examining Two Print-based Exercise Interventions for Women

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Physical Activity Behavior

In brief

Print-based interventions, specifically interventions that are theoretically-based have been shown to be effective for individuals. These types of interventions are of particular importance for those individuals who, due to transportation, work, family, social, or financial demands have difficulty participating in face-to-face programs. Therefore, we decided to test 2 such print based programs for women.
