Abstract

African American women have the lowest levels of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), contributing to disproportionate cardiovascular disease. Understanding the relationship between social cognitive constructs and LTPA maintenance during a successful intervention to improve LTPA in African American women may provide direction for the further development of successful LTPA interventions.
