Biologic Influences on Exercise Adherence.

Dishman, Rod K.

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, v52 n2 p143-59 May 1981

Diagnostic profiles of 362 male participants in an exercise program were analyzed to determine the biological variables between exercise adherence and symptoms of coronary disease. Findings indicated that individuals with lower metabolic capacity tended to adhere longer, to be less fit, were leaner, and began with more symptoms related to coronary disease. (Author/FG)
