      ab: The author reflects on the evaluation of exercise program that is theory-driven. He states that evaluation assessed the effectivity of an exercise program while theory-driven evaluation also covers the planning and implementation of the program. He argues that program theory should be applied in the evaluation because exercise programs are much superior that other health promotion program. However, he adds that there is only a small number of researches that apply the theory-driven evaluation.
