- W2009904009 abstract "In the spirit of healthy debate, and to advance understand-ing within the field, we have chosen to respond to King andWilcox’s[1] commentary related to our article [2]concerning the exercise preferences of adults. In our article,we reported the results of a study in which adults across theage spectrum indicated (a) a positive preference forexercising in group-based settings that are age-matched,as well as (b) a general dislike for exercising in group set-tings that are primarily comprised of adults dissimilar inage to themselves. We also posited that the findings fromour study could shed light on why previous studies, such asthose by King and her colleagues [3–5], found that olderadults reported a relative dislike of group-based settings (incomparison toexercisingontheirown).Specifically,wehigh-lightedthatbecausethestudiesbyKingandhercolleaguesdidnot consider age-matched ‘types’ of groups in their queries ofpreferencesforexercisecontexts,thereisadangerthatpositivegroup preferences may have become masked.In their commentary, King and Wilcox raised someinteresting points and provided some useful directions forfuture research. Many of those points represent a primer forthe conduct of research in general. However, King andWilcox did raise two issues that relate directly to our work;we will comment on these.The first issue pertains to preferences for a specificcontext for exercise. Specifically, King and Wilcox sug-gested that our interpretation of their data is at odds withtheirs and that “these differences merit discussion to reduceconfusion in the field” (p. 123). Given that we undertookour research to reduce confusion in the field, we welcomethe opportunity to address some of the interpretive issues.We also believe that by doing so, we will help to moveresearch in this area forward.In the series of studies that we cited [3–5], King andcolleagues asked respondents the dichotomous question“which is more appealing to you, exercising in a group withan exercise leader or exercising on your own with someinstruction” [3, p. 390]. In their commentary on our work,King and Wilcox suggested “this type of question does notaddress whether someone choosing to exercise outside ofan instructor-led class format (i.e., “on your own”) is alsochoosing to exercise completely alone or with neighbors,friends, relatives, coworkers, or other people in his or herenvironment” (p. 123). We and other readers of King andher colleagues’ work are restricted, of course, to the printedtext, and participants in a study are similarly restrictedwhen they are asked to choose between exercising in agroup with an exercise leader or exercising on your own.Inshort, the suggestion made by King and Wilcox iscontradictory; by definition, if a person is on their ownthey are not with other people. We do not believe we havemisinterpreted King and Wilcox’s work, we believe theyhave reinterpreted it.A second issue pertains to King and Wilcox’s claim thatwe incorrectly interpreted their writing when we wrote that“epidemiological research has suggested a move away fromgroup-based exercise interventions amongst older adults andtoward interventions that are directed at the individual level”(p. 204). In this regard, King and Wilcox proposed that “infact, a major objective underlying our work has been touncover the vast array of factors delineating subgroups of" @default.
