Cognitive Behavioral Theory

The effect of a treatment system based on principles of social cognitive and cognitive behavioral theory was estimated through case studies conducted in three YMCA fitness facilities. Significant ( p < .05) reductions in drop-out rates of 23% (Georgia sample; n = 171), 27% (California sample; n = 159), and 21% (Florida sample; n = 83) were found for the new and returning exercisers over the 5- and 6-mo. study time frames. Age was not related to drop-out rates in the treatment groups. Findings were consistent with previous research on earlier versions of the present treatment system, conducted with larger sample sizes within different fitness and wellness venues in the USA, U.K., and Italy. Replication, more detailed assessment of outputs of exercise, and tests of further revisions of the protocol were suggested to extend this preliminary research.

Drop Out Rates

The effects of a treatment system, based on tenets of cognitive behavioral and social cognitive theory, were estimated using case studies conducted in 17 fitness facilities of six regional associations of the YMCA. Significant reductions in drop-out rates of new and returning exercisers were found for the treatment groups ( ns = 30 to 124; M drop out = 38.9%, & SD = 9.5) compared to the control groups ( ns = 36 to 175; M drop out = 62.9%, SD = 6.4) over the 6-mo. times. Treatment effect sizes, by facility, ranged from small to large (φ = .10 to .43). Findings were consistent with previous research on earlier versions of the present treatment system conducted both within YMCAs and different fitness and wellness venues in the United States, United Kingdom, and Italy. Design limitations and the need for replication were discussed.
