In sharp contrast to other health-promoting behaviors, physical activity declines progressively with age. As a result of inactivity, elderly persons experience preventable functional decline, loss of independence, and increased disease burden. Many lack the strength, flexibility, or endurance to rise from a chair, walk, or dress independently. Exercise can delay, prevent, or even reverse these effects. Elders benefit more functionally from exercise than do younger people; yet, they exercise less. Considering the particular challenges that the elderly face in initiating exercise, it is essential to explore how health professionals can best motivate their elderly patients
