Regular physical activity is central to healthy ageing. However, less than 25% of German older adults aged 65 years or older currently reach the World Health Organization's recommendations.
In two study phases (PROMOTE I and II), web- and print-based programs to promote physical activity in older adults aged 60 years and older were developed. Intervention effectiveness was evaluated in randomized intervention trials. The goal is to present the recommendations and materials that emerged and were summarized in a toolbox for use in intervention planning and implementation in the community setting.
A total of 651 individuals received access to the web- or print-based "Fit im Nordwesten" physical activity intervention for 10 weeks. As part of the PROMOTE II study, the program was adapted to initially inactive older adults using a participatory approach. Acceptance and intervention effectiveness regarding physical activity behavior were scientifically evaluated.
The "Fit im Nordwesten" toolbox includes theory-based, practice-relevant, and scientifically evaluated recommendations for the promotion of physical activity among older adults aged 60 years and older. The provided document sets include materials for (1) the preparation and postprocessing, (2) the implementation of the 10-week physical activity program, (3) supporting long-term maintenance of physical activity behavior, and (4) supporting materials for theory and practice.
Thus far, the provision of scientifically evaluated materials for practical use in the promotion of physical activity was limited. The findings and recommendations presented here as part of the "Fit im Nordwesten" toolbox can support future application in physical activity programs targeting older adults.
规律的体育活动是健康老龄化的核心。然而，目前德国65岁及以上的老年人中，只有不到25%达到了世界卫生组织的建议标准。
在两个研究阶段（PROMOTE I和II）中，开发了基于网络和印刷品的项目，以促进60岁及以上老年人的体育活动。在随机干预试验中评估了干预效果。目标是展示在一个工具包中出现并总结的建议和材料，以供在社区环境中的干预规划和实施中使用。
共有651人获得了为期10周的基于网络或印刷品的“西北健康”体育活动干预。作为PROMOTE II研究的一部分，该项目采用参与式方法，针对最初不活跃的老年人进行了调整。对体育活动行为的接受度和干预效果进行了科学评估。
“西北健康”工具包包括基于理论、与实践相关且经过科学评估的建议，以促进60岁及以上老年人的体育活动。提供的文档集包括用于（1）准备和后期处理、（2）实施为期10周的体育活动项目、（3）支持体育活动行为的长期维持以及（4）理论和实践支持材料。
到目前为止，用于促进体育活动实际应用的经过科学评估的材料有限。作为“西北健康”工具包一部分呈现的这些发现和建议，可以支持未来在针对老年人的体育活动项目中的应用。
