A significant number of Dutch older adults can be considered sedentary when it comes to regular participation in leisure-time physical activity. Sedentariness is considered a potential public health burden-all the more reason to develop a strategy for stimulating older adults toward becoming more involved in leisure-time physical activity. The Groningen Active Living Model (GALM) is a behavioral change strategy for stimulating participation in leisure-time physical activity.
The GALM strategy is based on a process model of behavioral change in which behavioral change is seen as a multidimensional and dynamic process. The strategy has three phases: recruitment, introduction, and follow-up, and lasts 18 months.
Preliminary results indicate that, up until the summer of 1998, about 4000 older adults were participating in 76 local GALM projects. Further research will be done to assess the validity of the model and its effects on the leisure-time physical activity pattern, ADL performance, and health in newly active older adults.
The GALM strategy is a feasible strategy for stimulating leisure-time physical activity participation on a large-scale basis. The strategy is being implemented in The Netherlands on a nationwide basis.
相当数量的荷兰老年人在定期参与休闲体育活动方面可被视为久坐不动。久坐被认为是一种潜在的公共卫生负担——这更有理由制定一项策略，激励老年人更多地参与休闲体育活动。格罗宁根积极生活模式（GALM）是一种激励参与休闲体育活动的行为改变策略。
GALM策略基于行为改变的过程模型，其中行为改变被视为一个多维度的动态过程。该策略有三个阶段：招募、引入和随访，持续18个月。
初步结果表明，截至1998年夏季，约4000名老年人参与了76个当地的GALM项目。将进行进一步研究，以评估该模型的有效性及其对新参与活动的老年人的休闲体育活动模式、日常生活活动能力表现和健康状况的影响。
GALM策略是一种在大规模基础上激励休闲体育活动参与的可行策略。该策略正在荷兰全国范围内实施。
