Article Synopsis
- The study examined long-term physical activity (PA) adherence among women using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, focusing on factors from adolescence that influence adult activity levels.
- Significant predictors for maintaining PA included previous activity levels, motivation to lose weight, access to fitness facilities, and frequency of physical education in school, while self-perception of fitness and being Black, non-Hispanic were associated with lower adherence rates.
- Findings indicate that encouraging physical activity during adolescence could help foster lifelong activity, and future efforts should target community and educational resources to support this initiative.
