This study investigated the relative and combined effectiveness of the Canadian Home Fitness Test (CHFT) and Health Hazard Appraisal (HHA) to modify (1) intention to exercise with and without knowledge of the results and (2) intention and behavior to exercise over 3 months. The 200 subjects were randomly attributed to groups, either (1) physical-fitness evaluation (PF), (2) appraised health age (HA), (3) physical-fitness evaluation and health-hazard appraisal (PF-HA), or (4) control (C). The immediate impact on the intention to exercise of passing one and/or the other tests, without knowledge of the results, was not significant. With knowledge of the results, the intentions of the PF and PF-HA groups differed from those of the C group. This effect disappeared after 3 months. There was no significant impact on exercise behavior over 3 months. The results indicated a short-term motivational effect from being informed of CHFT results. Maintaining this effect might require intervention on a long-term basis.
