摘要：
This study indicated that a variety of survey techniques resulted in a modest return rate (66%) in a national survey of 455 exercise professionals. A $1.00 bill incentive was significantly more effective than no incentive in improving returns, and the rate of double responses in this anonymous mail survey was extremely low (<1%).
