This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation, comprising two studies, examined the number of barriers to physical activity (Study 1) and barrier strength (Study 2) reported by middle-aged and older adults using a social ecological framework (McLeroy et al., 1988). Researchers were interested in assessing age group (45-54; 55-64; 65-74 yrs) by physical activity group (active, less active) effects for barrier responses using analyses of variance. In Study 1, 180 participants completed a physical activity level survey (Godin & Shephard, 1985) and answered open-ended questions about barriers. Results indicated that 45-54 yr-olds reported more barriers overall, and more intrapersonal barriers than older groups. Less active 45-54 yr-olds reported more organizational-interpersonal barriers than the other groups. Descriptive analyses of coded themes demonstrated that common intrapersonal barrier sub-themes cited by younger adults related to family commitments, while sub-themes reported by middle-aged and older adults related to having a health problem or an injury. In the organizational-interpersonal category, the most common barrier sub-theme related to the workplace. In Study 2, 116 participants completed a survey assessing weekly physical activity and barrier strength for items pertaining to ecological categories and barrier sub-factors. Results showed that less active adults reported each of intrapersonal, interpersonal, and physical environment barriers more strongly than active adults, irrespective of age; the intrapersonal category was relatively the most constraining for our participants. In terms of barrier sub-factors, results showed that significantly higher barrier strength scores are most often associated with physical activity level (i.e., less active), and only occasionally associated with age group. The overall investigation can provide valuable information for improving physical activity interventions for middle-aged and older adults.

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 Synopsis Exploring Motivators and Barriers to Exercise Among Older Adults with Chronic Conditions by : Kristin Gazdik

This book was released on 2020 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Chronic conditions among older adults are on the rise. While exercise is recommended as a first-line treatment for chronic conditions, there are a number of documented motivators and barriers to physical activity and exercise among older adults. Little research exists on motivators and barriers to exercise among older adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, and osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in barriers to exercise and intrinsic motivators between active and sedentary older adults with the chronic conditions of CVD, type 2 diabetes, and/or OA. A secondary purpose of this study was to determine if there were difference in barriers to exercise and intrinsic motivators between older adults with one and two or more chronic conditions. In total, 33 older adults (14 males and 19 females) participated. Independent-samples t-tests were done to compare barriers and intrinsic motivators to exercise between active (n=27) and sedentary older adults (n=6) as well as older adults with one (n=20) and two or more chronic conditions (n=13). This study demonstrated that while the number of conditions did not influence perceived barriers or motivators toward exercise, participation in exercise versus sedentary behavior did influence perceived barriers or motivators toward exercise.

There is a model included, as well as implications for future social policy.
Book Synopsis Perceived Barriers to Exercise Among Older Adults with MCI and Early Dementia by : Nicholas Hobson
Download or read book Perceived Barriers to Exercise Among Older Adults with MCI and Early Dementia written by Nicholas Hobson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing evidence suggests that exercise can benefit physical and cognitive function among older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia (MCI/dementia). Unfortunately, many older adults with MCI/dementia are not sufficiently active to achieve these benefits. Older adults with MCI/dementia experience barriers to exercise, some of which may be shared with older adults in general. There are likely to also be factors unique to their condition. Further, the social-ecological model (SEM) suggests that characteristics of the social and physical environmental factors may interact with individual factors and play important and dynamic roles in influencing health behaviours, including exercise. The objective of this study was to explore and characterize the perceived barriers, motivators, and facilitators to exercise among community-dwelling older adults with MCI/dementia guided by the SEM as a framework, from the perspectives of both older adults with MCI/dementia and their care partners. Additional objectives were to explore the perceived acceptability of exercise options among older adults with MCI/dementia and their care partners and to explore the supports and accommodations that may be needed to create inclusive conditions for persons with MCI/dementia to participate in community-based exercise programs. Ten older adults with MCI/dementia and 7 care partners were conveniently recruited to the study. Perspectives, experiences, and opinions of both persons with MCI/dementia and their care partners regarding exercise among persons with MCI/dementia were gathered qualitatively through four focus group discussions. Focus groups ranged in size from 3 to 6 participants. Pairs of focus groups, one for each participant group, ran simultaneously with a separate moderating team for each group. Group discussions were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and reviewed to ensure consistency. Data analysis followed the general inductive thematic approach outlined by Braun and Clarke (2006). Thematic analysis revealed a complex and dynamic interplay between factors across levels of the SEM influencing exercise behaviour among persons with MCI/dementia. Key themes indicate that persons with MCI/dementia and their care partners viewed exercise as a positive, meaningful, and beneficial activity that had physical, mental, and social benefits. However, several barriers to exercise participation emerged including low intrinsic motivation, physical and mental health challenges and stigma against dementia. Despite challenges to engage in exercise, external support at the individual and community level could help overcome barriers. Low motivation to exercise among persons with MCI/dementia could be mediated by encouragement from their care partners and availability of enjoyable, social exercise opportunities. By providing transportation and acting as an exercise companion, the care partners could also help the person with MCI/dementia's physical and cognitive limitations. Further, access to exercise opportunities that meet the individual physical and mental needs of the person with MCI/dementia could reduce the negative impact of physical and mental challenges experienced by persons with MCI/dementia on exercise engagement. The results suggest that increasing availability of preferred exercise opportunities, such as walking outdoors and exercise in social settings with others with whom they identify, is likely a worthwhile venture that may motivate and enable exercise among persons with dementia. Future research should determine and assess strategies to augment motivators and facilitators to exercise and reduce barriers, especially at the social and community-levels. Results should, however, be interpreted with caution as this study included primarily active participants from a single region and future studies should specifically target persons with MCI/dementia who are sedentary and from broad social and geographical environmental, as the factors that influence exercise are likely to be different.

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.
