In this qualitative study focus groups were used to gain an in-depth understanding of personal and social influences on physical activity in 48 52-87-year-old participants. A model produced using a Grounded Theory analysis showed that preventing health decline was particularly important in determining physical activity participation. Other influences included enjoyment of exercise, others as motivators to exercise and perceived limited appreciation for older people's needs. The results are discussed in relation to health and exercise interventions designed to motivate exercise behaviour in older adults.
在这项定性研究中，使用焦点小组深入了解了 48 名 52-87 岁参与者的身体活动的个人和社会影响。使用扎根理论分析生成的模型表明，防止健康状况下降对确定身体活动参与度尤为重要。其他影响因素包括对运动的享受、他人作为运动的动力以及对老年人需求的感知有限。结果与旨在激励老年人运动行为的健康和运动干预措施有关。
