title: Exercise DVD improves exercise expectations in cardiovascular outpatients.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess impact of exercise education intervention on exercise frequency and attitudes.
  
  
  METHODS
  Cardiovascular outpatients (N=509) were randomized to receive an education DVD or standard care. Outcome measures (baseline and 6 weeks) assessed exercise frequency and cognitive variables.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no difference between groups on exercise frequency change from baseline, but DVD group reported greater exercise outcome expectations than control group (P=0.01). There was a greater increase in relapse-prevention behavior in the DVD group, compared to control, for those with low relapse-prevention behavior at baseline (P=0.02).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A minimal intervention improves outcome expectations for exercise.
