A total of 65 subjects with mean ages of 67.5±5.2 (men) and 66.1±5.1 (women) years participated in this study. Subjects were divided into two groups: 1) exercise group (n=34; 25 men, nine women); and 2) the control group (n=31; 22 men, nine women). Structural equation modeling, based on TPB components, was applied to determine specific factors that most contribute to and predict actual behavior toward exercise. Based on the TPB’s model, attitude (ß=0.60) and perceived behavioral control (ß=0.24) were the major predictors of intention to exercise among men at the baseline. Among women, the subjective norm (ß=0.82) was the major predictor of intention to perform the exercise at the baseline. After 12 weeks, attitude (men’s, ß=0.68; women’s, ß=0.24) and subjective norm (men’s, ß=0.12; women’s, ß=0.87) were the predictors of the intention to perform the exercise. “Feels healthier with exercise” was the specific factor to improve the intention to perform and to maintain exercise behavior in men (ß=0.36) and women (ß=0.49). “Not motivated to perform exercise” was the main barrier among men’s intention to exercise. The intention to perform the exercise was able to predict actual behavior regarding exercise at the baseline and at 12 weeks of an intervention program. As a conclusion, TPB is a useful model to determine and to predict maintenance of exercise in the sarcopenic elderly.Keywords: theory planned behavior, aging, elderly, sarcopenic, exerciseAhmad MHShahar STeng NIMFManaf ZASakian NIMOmar BDove Medical Pressarticletheory planned behavioragingelderlysarcopenicexerciseGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 9, Pp 1551-1561 (2014)
