“…In the opinion of the study authors, correlation between physical exercise and smoking may be however modified by the socio-economic status of the subjects as professional physical activity (physical work) is more prevalent in lower-status groups where smoking is more widespread (Heath and Kendrick 1989). Other researches also found no evidence of any relation between smoking and LTPA among men (Sedgwick et al, 1980, Krick et al, 1990, Johansson et al, 1991, King et al, 1996. Our study, reinforce the impression from published reports that participation in LTPA is associated with being non smokers among men, but not among women.…”

“…The study conducted in The United States students population also document that the percentage of smokers among practicing school sports is lower than among subjects of the same age not participating in sports (Pate et al 1996). However, other researchers find no evidence of any relationship between smoking and LTPA (Sedgwick et al 1980, Marti et al 1987, Krick and Sobal 1990, Johansson et al 1991, King et al 1996. In these studies most of the respondents reported lower than recommended level of LTPA.…”

“…There is an increasing body of evidence to suggest that regular vigorous physical activity may be beneficial in preventing recurrence of myocardial infarctions (Hackett & Cassem, 1978;Morris, Everitt, Pollard, Chave, & Semmence, 1980), and in rehabilitation following myocardial infarction (Blair, 1982). Although some studies (e.g., Sedgwick, Brotherhood, Harris-Davidson, Taplin, & Thomas, 1980) dispute the relationship between regular exercise and decreased likelihood of heart disease, others (e.g., Blair et al, 1983) have found a relationship between the adoption of exercise and the reduction of heartdisease risk factors, and it is generally accepted that exercise has an important role to play in heart-disease prevention and rehabilitation (Blair, 1982;Carleton & Lasater, 1983;Thomas, 1979).…”

established and putative health, psychological, and social benefits. Exercise at lower levels of intensity and frequency may also be beneficial. However, research evidence indicates that exercise patterns are poorly maintained. This paper considers stages o f behaviour change relevant to exercise, evidence concerning the factors which influence exercise adoption and maintenance, psychological theories concerning behaviour change and maintenance, and these theories' actual and potential applications to exercise promotion. There remain a number of issues for investigation, at the levels of theory and basic research, applications in community settings, development of selfinstructional and minimal-in tervention programmes, development of public campaigns, and governmental policy development.Aerobic exercise (regular, vigorous, physical activity) has a range of Preparation of this article was supported by a grant to the second author from the Sport and Recreation Ministers' Council.

“…One study has reported in males an attenuation of the increase in BP over a five year period in those who improved their fitness,' while in another study no long-term effects of exercise on BP were seen. 2 In several studies inclusive of both men and women,3-5 no correlation of change in BP with increases in physical activity have been observed over intervals from 2-5 years. Where falls have been observed they have been attributed to the effects of exercise to induce weight loss rather than an independent effect of exercise.6 In a long-term and ongoing study of the optimal approach to initiating and maintaining a regular exercise programme in previously sedentary older women (40-65 years), we have now assessed determinants of change in resting BP after 6 and 12 months.…”

1. In a long-term study of the optimal approach to initiating and maintaining a regular exercise programme in previously sedentary older women (40-65 years), we have assessed determinants of change in resting blood pressure (BP) after 6 and 12 months. 2. Women (n = 126) were randomly assigned to either a centre-based or home-based exercise programme for an initial 6 months. The centre-based group attended supervised sessions three times per week, while the home-based group exercised unsupervised at home three times per week. Both groups were home-based during a second 6 months. Within each arm, subjects were further randomized to either exercise at moderate intensity (40-55% heart rate reserve; HRres) or at vigorous intensity (65-80% HRres). A nonintervention comparison group of 30 women was followed throughout. 3. At 6 months there was a fall in BP with moderate, but not vigorous intensity exercise (-2.7 mmHg; P = 0.025), an effect no longer significant at 12 months. 4. Change in BP was unrelated to improvements in fitness (VO2max), increases in lean tissue mass, number of exercise sessions completed or a composite measure of the total number of exercise sessions completed multiplied by the mean exercise intensity expressed as a percentage of heart rate reserve (%HRres). 5. Continuing participation in any regular exercise was a consistent predictor of change in BP, with those subjects still exercising in the 2 weeks before BP measurement having 1.9 mmHg lower BP at 6 months (P = 0.038) and 3.8 mmHg lower BP at 12 months (P = 0.016). 6. We conclude that the small effects of exercise on resting BP in these older women are predominantly related to continuing participation in lower intensity exercise, rather than to improvements in fitness or body composition.
