and how can a behavioural contract assist in exercise adherence

Every person is different, and are motivated by different things. For some, a verbal promise is enough if they make it sincerely and to another person (not just to themselves). However, for others, they are motivated to ‘stick with a promise’ if it’s in writing – such as with a ‘behavioral contract.’ I say that whatever works for the particular client you’re working with – GO FOR IT! The key, ‘know your client,” and then work with them accordingly.
