Maintenance motives for physical activity among older adults: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
IntroductionPhysical activity (PA) is an important aspect for health and well-being, yet many older adults do not maintain their PA long term. The identification of key factors that are associated with, and likely causally related to, older adults’ PA maintenance is a crucial first step towards deve...
