Goals in motion: exploring goal setting among adults living with HIV who participated in an online community-based exercise intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adults living with HIV may experience various health-related challenges in life. Exercise has been shown to provide numerous benefits. However, the specific goals that individuals aim to achieve through exercise are not well-documented. Our aim was to explore goal setting among adults living with HIV who participated in an online community-based exercise (CBE) intervention.

Methods

We conducted a multi-method, longitudinal study using data from a 12-month online CBE intervention study involving 6-month intervention and follow-up phases. Goal Attainment Scaling was used to quantify the number and types of goals set and achieved at each phase. We analyzed interview data with a subsample to identify experiences with and factors influencing goal setting.
