Brief Summary

Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) programmes for older people in the community and long-term care facilities traditionally focus on achieving functional and health improvements. These approaches face frequent challenges in reaching older people with more social disadvantages and in achieving and maintaining attendance. The aim is to evaluate the acceptability, implementation process and potential impact of a co-created JOIN4JOY PA programme focused on enjoyment and social inclusion for 65+-year-old community-dwelling adults as well as for 65+-year-olds nursing-home residents who live in nursing homes.

Conditions

Physical Inactivity; Sedentary Behavior

Keywords

physical activity; joy; social inclusion; older adults; sedentary behaviour; sedentary behavior; nursing homes; enjoyment

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Self-reported Physical activity

  measured with de Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) - Short Form.

  Before (week 0) and after (week 13)

• Physical activity level

  Measured via Accelerometry . For 7 consecutive days before, and 7 consecutive days after the JOIN4JOY PA programme.

  Before (week 0) and after (week 13)

• Sedentary Behavior

  Assessed via the Sedentary Behaviour Questionnaire (SBQ),

  Before (week 0) and after (Week 13)

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• Physical function

  Before (week 0) and after (week 13)

• Quality of life

  Before (week 0) and after (week 13)

• Perceived improvement

  Before (week 0) and after (week 13)

• Enjoyment

  After end of physical activity sessions (week 13)

• Sense of community

  Before (week 0) and after (week 13)

Interventions

Complex intervention involving physical activity and behaviour change techniques OTHER

The intervention protocol derives from a previous, extensive, co-creation phase involving end-users as well as relatives, experts, professionals working working with older adults, university students and researchers. It will be based on a structured group-based PA programme supervised by trained professionals, tailored to participants' needs to include joyful components combined with self-management strategies to encourage behaviour change also beyond the sessions. All participants (including end-users but not only) will also be encouraged to join virtual communities of practice (VCoP) for further support and knowledge exchange.
