This review sought to investigate the question:
A search of PubMed for review-level evidence on professional and personal barriers and motivators for strength and balance activities among older people.
The search and expert consultation found 46 studies; after screening, twelve papers were included. Many of the barriers and motivators to strength and balance activities are familiar ones that can also apply to physical activity more generally, such as not having the time. More specific barriers to strength and balance activities for older people were perceived risk of a heart attack, stroke, or death, and fear of looking too muscular; with motivators being improved ability to complete daily activities, preventing deterioration and disability, and decreasing the risk or fear of falling.
This review of reviews has found a small but consistent body of literature describing the motivators and barriers to older adults taking part in strength and balance activities. This may be used as the basis for planning and delivering physical activity programmes for older adults.
本综述旨在探究以下问题：
在PubMed上搜索关于老年人进行力量和平衡活动的专业及个人障碍与动机的综述级证据。
检索及专家咨询共找到46项研究；经筛选，纳入12篇论文。力量和平衡活动的许多障碍与动机是常见的，也普遍适用于体育活动，比如没有时间。老年人进行力量和平衡活动更具体的障碍包括认为存在心脏病发作、中风或死亡风险，以及担心看起来肌肉过于发达；而动机则是提高完成日常活动的能力、预防身体机能衰退和残疾，以及降低跌倒风险或恐惧。
本综述性综述发现了一小部分但较为一致的文献，描述了老年人参与力量和平衡活动的动机与障碍。这可作为为老年人规划和开展体育活动项目的基础。
