다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Despite well-known benefits of physical activity for older adults, most older adults remain significantly underactive. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an inclusive, choice-based physical activity promotion program to increase lifetime physical activity levels of seniors on physical activity, physical fitness & health-related quality of life outcomes in older adults. The physical activity promotion program guided participants to choose activities that took into account their health, preferences, and abilities. It offered information on ways for them to exercise safely, motivate themselves, overcome barriers, and develop a balanced exercise regimen.
A six-month comparison-group trial was conducted with older adults in community senior center. Changes in self-reported physical activity, physical fitness & health-related quality of life(SF-36) by group & within group were evaluated using t-test.
Of 30 subjects, 22(73%) completed the trial. Subjects were aged 63 to 75 years(mean=68.36±4.02); 86% were female. The intervention group increased estimated caloric expenditure by 1975 calories/week in moderate intensity activities(MET≥3.0; p=.008), and by 2312 calories/week in physical activities of any intensity(p=.005). Control group changes were negligible. Between-group analyses showed that the changes were significantly different in both measures(p=0.17; p=032). The intervention group also significantly better scores on right grip strength(p=.046), back flexibility(p=.016), BMI(p=.037), general health perception(p=.031) & vitality(p=.002). Control group changes were also negligible. Between-group analyses showed that changes were no significantly different in these measures.
The program led to meaningful physical activity increase. Individually tailored programs to encourage lifestyle changes in seniors may be effective and applicable to health care and community settings.
