Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was designed to examine the effects of perceived benefits and barriers to physical activity on exercise participation among older Alaskans and compare results to findings from research completed by A. M. Hewitt in 1997. This study collected data at community events from 111 adults age 55 and over. The study participants created a seven-question demographic and exercise participation survey as well as the Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale (EBBS). Significant differences were found between the EBBS scores of current participants and those from 14 years ago. There was a weak but significant relationship between EBBS scores and physical activity participation. However, there was only a 1.1% increase in physical activity participation between current participants and those from 1997.

Download or read book The Relationship of Benefits and Barriers with Intent to Exercise in Older Adults with Diabetes written by Terrisina R. Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of older diabetic patients' perceived benefits and barriers to exercise with their intention to exercise. Pender's Health Promotion Model (1996) guided the research. Participants (N=30) aged 65 and older were selected to participate in this study. Pender's Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale and Planning for Exercise tools assessed the 30 older adults with diabetes. Results clearly show that older adults with diabetes need to incorporate exercise as a part of their diabetes management regimen. If participants perceived exercising as taking up too much time or interfering with familial obligations, they were found to be less apt to exercise and perceived exercise as a barrier. Older adults, with their healthcare professional, should identify strategies that can remove barriers to exercise and create incentives to optimize the habit of regular exercise in their diabetes regimen.

Book excerpt: The role of public health in the planning, coordination, and delivery of health promotion and disease prevention services to older people living outside of institutional settings. Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Current issues in the public health arena have challenged the system to broaden its traditional focus on infectious disease to include chronic disease as well. As this change in emphasis takes place, professionals must be prepared to address the special chronic health concerns of older people living in the community. This textbook meets the training needs of those professionals. Public Health and Aging examines the role of public health in the planning, coordination, and delivery of health promotion and disease prevention services to older people living outside of institutional settings. Here, experts in the areas of health care policy and care of aged persons analyze the scientific basis for the practice of public health in an increasingly aging society. Reviewing a wide range of the social, cultural, financial, and environmental factors that influence the health experiences of older population groups, the authors delve into the epidemiology of age-related chronic illnesses, program development, methodological issues, data collection and analysis, strategies for intervention, and ethics. From outlines for community-based program planning and development to discussions about the future challenges for health care systems and services, this book is an ideal reference for gerontology, public policy, and public health professionals and professionals in training.

Download or read book Exercise Knowledge and Perceived Barriers in Relationship to the Stages of Behavior Change in the Older Adult Population written by Karen E. Annear and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past research suggested a daily accumulation of 30-45 minutes of moderate physical activity was needed to achieve substantial health benefits. Yet, few Americans took part in regular physical activity (USDHHS, 1996; ACSM, 1990). Older adults were even less likely to participate in physical activity than their younger counterparts. Substantial health benefits were found to be similar between older adults and other age groups (AHA, 1995; Stefanick, et al., 1998; USDHHS, 2000). As the population grew older, their obesity increased, they became glucose intolerant (type II diabetes), and had a greater number of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (Petrella, 1999). Unfortunately, by age 75 one in three men and one in two women reported no physical activity (USDHHS, 2000). Studies suggested that an increase in education about the health benefits of exercise, and a decrease in the number of perceived barriers to exercise would increase the number of older adults who participated in exercise programs (Heesch, et al., 2000; O2Neill, & Reid, 1991). James Prochaska constructed a model of behavior change that examined the stages of change a person moves through to intentionally modify their behaviors rochaska, et al., 1992). The purpose of this study was to determine if older adults2 exercise knowledge and perceived barriers differed based on their current stage of change. Further, gender was examined as a possible intervening variable. A questionnaire was distributed among senior centers throughout Cincinnati, Ohio to evaluate stage of change, exercise knowledge, and perceived barriers to exercise in adults over the age of 60 years old. There were 195 questionnaires obtained. Results revealed a significant relationship between exercise knowledge and stage of change (r = .445, p

Book excerpt: Very little is known about why and when African American elders seek formal long-term care, or about the characteristics of assisted living environments they consider most desirable. Drawing on qualitative studies conducted between 1998 and 2001, the authors of Communities of Care provide important information on historic and current trends in assisted living systems serving African Americans. Focusing on six facilities that have become models of long-term care for African Americans, the authors shed light on the daily lives of the people who live, work, and visit these "communities of care."With detailed profiles of the facilities, interviews, and case histories of care recipients, the authors explore both the institutional and personal characteristics of the facilities and the issues central to their residents. This definitive work brings to the forefront critical questions about how race, gender, and culture affect the quality of, access to, and cost of care. These questions have broad implications for the policy, administration, and operation of assisted living.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Ageing and Physical Activity Promotion written by Samuel R. Nyman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-31 with total page 757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ageing of our population is a key societal issue across the globe. Although people are living longer, they need to be living longer in good health to continue to enjoy quality of life and independence and to prevent rises in health and social care costs. This timely and ground-breaking volume will provide an up-to-date overview of the factors that promote physical activity in later life. Despite advances in the fields of gerontology and geriatrics, sports and exercise science, sociology, health psychology, and public health, knowledge is largely contained within disciplines as reflected in the current provision of academic texts on this subject. To truly address the present and substantial societal challenges of population ageing, a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach is required. This handbook will inform researchers, students, and practitioners on the current evidence base for what physical activities need to be promoted among older people and how they can be implemented to maximise engagement. This handbook will be an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and students across the social sciences.
