My conclusion is you don't understand ONE GODDAMN THING ABOUT SURVIVOR MOTIVATION, DO YOU? You create EXACT 100% recovery protocols and your survivor will be motivated to do the millions of reps needed because they are looking forward to 100% recovery. GET THERE!

There would be no need for this useless research on promoting physical activity!

Abstract: 

 Study assessed the feasibility of delivering an online community membership-based fitness program for individuals with mobility impairments. Activity options included 16 pre-recorded videos and 9 live exercise classes. During the 8-week program, participants had an opportunity to earn three exercise incentives for reaching certain activity milestones. Enrollment percentage, attendance, and attrition were tracked to assess program feasibility and acceptability. Changes in participant-reported outcomes including self-reported physical activity, psychosocial outcomes, and health-related quality of life were examined using non-parametric analyses. Of the146 members who activated their online fitness account, 33 participants enrolled in the study and completed baseline assessments, and 31 were included in the analyses. Health conditions included stroke, post-polio, arthritis, neuropathy, cerebral palsy, and obesity. Ten participants used an assistive device to get around inside the home. Twenty-six participants (78.8 percent) completed the online program, and 5 participants earned all 3 participation incentives. The mean number of live Zoom exercise classes attended by the participants was 12.8 over 8 weeks; 3 of the 31 participants did not attend any classes. On average, participants watched 128 minutes of pre-recorded videos; 6 of 31 participants did not view any pre-recorded videos. Self-reported physical activity showed the largest improvement. The online program demonstrated preliminary effectiveness in increasing physical activity and was found to be feasible and acceptable.
