Research has shown the benefits of exercise are transient and gains achieved in geriatric rehabilitation progams are not maintained post discharge. Sedentary behaviour increases with advancing age, making levels of exercise frequency and long-term program adherence difficult to achieve in older populations. The primary aim of the study was to investigate whether once a week exercise is as effective as twice a week for maintaining outcomes post physical rehabilitation in a consecutive sample of older adults. / Thesis (PhD)--University of South Australia, 2008.
