Arthritis Care & Research, 2003•Wiley Online LibraryObjective To examine whether aquatic exercise–related goals, task self‐efficacy, and
scheduling self‐efficacy are predictive of aquatic exercise attendance in individuals with
arthritis. A secondary objective was to determine whether high attendees differed from low
attendees on goals and self‐efficacy. Methods The sample comprised 216 adults with
arthritis (mean age 69.21 years). Measures included exercise‐related goal difficulty and

Objective
To examine whether aquatic exercise–related goals, task self‐efficacy, and scheduling self‐efficacy are predictive of aquatic exercise attendance in individuals with arthritis. A secondary objective was to determine whether high attendees differed from low attendees on goals and self‐efficacy.
Methods
The sample comprised 216 adults with arthritis (mean age 69.21 years). Measures included exercise‐related goal difficulty and specificity, task and scheduling self‐efficacy, and 8‐week aquatic exercise attendance.
Results
Results of a multiple hierarchical regression analysis were significant (P < 0.01). Goal difficulty, specificity, and task self‐efficacy were independent predictors of attendance (P < 0.05). A significant multivariate analysis of variance (P < 0.01) indicated that high attendees had higher task and scheduling self‐efficacy and lower goal difficulty than did low attendees (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Support for the importance of exercise‐related goal setting and self‐efficacy was demonstrated. Implications pertain to the design of interventions to impact aquatic exercise.
