Many initiatives have been developed to facilitate older adults' engagement in physical activity (PA) and document its benefits. One example is Texercise, a 12-week program with a focus on increasing participants' self-efficacy. The goal of this paper is to augment the knowledgebase of PA program implementation and dissemination by elucidating the experience of Texercise implementation as perceived by multiple stakeholders. We conducted 28 semistructured stakeholder interviews and categorized the responses into four preset themes: (1) program delivery and advocacy; (2) value/merit of the program; (3) successes/challenges of offering and sustaining the program; and (4) recommendations for enhancing implementation and delivery. We identified emergent subthemes through further analysis. Many perceptions that are broadly applicable to community organizations emerged. Our findings highlight the importance of stakeholder support when embedding PA programs in communities. Furthermore, the findings are crucial to understanding underlying processes that support widespread program dissemination and sustainability.
人们已经开展了许多举措来促进老年人参与体育活动（PA）并记录其益处。一个例子是Texercise，这是一个为期12周的项目，重点是提高参与者的自我效能感。本文的目的是通过阐明多个利益相关者所感知的Texercise实施经验，来扩充体育活动项目实施与推广的知识库。我们进行了28次利益相关者半结构化访谈，并将回答归类为四个预设主题：（1）项目实施与宣传；（2）项目的价值/优点；（3）提供和维持该项目的成功/挑战；（4）关于加强实施与推广的建议。我们通过进一步分析确定了新出现的子主题。许多广泛适用于社区组织的看法浮现出来。我们的研究结果凸显了在社区中推行体育活动项目时利益相关者支持的重要性。此外，这些发现对于理解支持广泛的项目推广和可持续性的潜在过程至关重要。
