BACKGROUND:Persons with SSDs contend with multiple barriers to exercise. Interventions are needed to enhance attitudes theoretically linked to exercise behavior. OBJECTIVE: Examine effect of Walk, Address Sensations, Learn About Exercise, Cue Exercise for SSDs (WALC-S) intervention upon exercise self efficacy (SEE) and outcome expectations (OEES) in 97 outpatients with SSDs. DESIGN: Experimental, pre test posttest. Randomization to experimental (WALC-S) or time-and-attention control (TAC) after baseline SEE and OEES measures. Measures repeated after WALC-S or TAC. RESULTS:N = 97, 46% female, 43% African American, average age46.9 years (SD = 2.0). Mean SEE scores were significantly higher in WALC-S participants after intervention (F ((1,95)) = 5.92, p = 0.0168), however, mean OEES scores were significantly higher in control participants after intervention (F ((1,95)) = 5.76, p = 0.0183. CONCLUSION: This is the first study to examine SEE and OEES in SSDs. Interventions to enhance exercise attitudes are a critical first step toward the ultimate goal of increasing exercise participation.
