Abstract
This study investigated conceptually relevant determinants of change in self-efficacy beliefs related to muscular strength in a prospective study design. Results suggested that older adults' desire for muscular strength is an important determinant of changes in self-efficacy for strength. Studies involving older adults in strength training and physical rehabilitation should explore the development of behavioral interventions that target increases in such motives to be used in conjunction with these programs.Mesh:
