A model using social-cognitive predictors was developed to study the factors affecting physical exercise adherence in the case of cardiac rehabilitation. Findings showed that action planning and recovery self-efficacy predict adherence to physical exercise while health risk perception seems to be an insignificant factor. Details of the hypothesized model are presented.
