| Consumer Summary: | HIGHLIGHTS: The theory-driven exercise intervention improves exercise beliefs and behavior among community-living (pre) frail older adults. Perceived barriers and descriptive norms play a crucial role in increasing exercise behavior in this population. Efforts should be exerted on addressing perceived barriers and sustaining positive descriptive norms to enhance the effectiveness of exercise interventions in future research. |
