Generally 65+ Years Old CDC General Guidelines
◦ Should be as physically active as their condition allows (Chronic diseases)
◦ Avoid inactivity◦ 150 minutes moderate intensity/75 minutes
vigorous intensity per week At least 10 minute bouts, spread throughout week Muscle strengthening, endurance, flexibility, balance
Target Population: Older Adults
![Page 3: Final Project Group 2: Older Adult Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/568130c3550346895d96e19b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Only 8% of older adults meet PA guidelines (National reported average around 50%)
77% don’t do any PA (National average approximately 25%)
Potential Barriers◦ Poor health, fear of falling,
pain, poor self-efficacy, poor understanding of benefits, etc.
Approach
![Page 4: Final Project Group 2: Older Adult Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/568130c3550346895d96e19b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Reduce Inactivity◦ Educate about PA
benefits ◦ Set positive role
models◦ Increase self-efficacy
Approach: Continued

Short-term◦ Decrease sedentary lifestyle◦ Increase PA levels
Confidence, self-efficacy Long-term
◦ Consistent higher levels of PA◦ Lower incidence of chronic disease
Stroke, heart disease, cancer, diabetes◦ Decrease dependency on others ◦ Improve psychological well-being
Goals
![Page 6: Final Project Group 2: Older Adult Populations](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072015/568130c3550346895d96e19b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Self-determination theory ◦ Perceived autonomy, competence
Improve these aspects to increase motivation, which leads to behavioral change
◦ Strive for increased intrinsic motivation Show benefits, positive role model, high inactivity rates
Health belief model◦ Likelihood of exercise depends on…
Perception of severity and likelihood of disease Perceived appraisal costs and benefits
◦ Our goal is to show that PA leads to marked decreases in likelihood of disease and other negative side effects associated with inactivity
Theoretical Framework

PSA Video Link◦ Footage shot at Foxdale Village Senior Center◦ 45 minute exercise class◦ Participants range from 70s to 90s
Dispersal of PSA◦ Daytime hours seniors home while others at
school/work; cheaper ◦ News programming ◦ Main networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, etc)◦ TV Stations tailored to elderly
TV Land, Retro, GSN Religious outlets
PSA: Older Adults

Deliver intervention through media frequently (dose-response effect), variety of media outlets targeted toward the elderly population◦ Maximize reach
Ideally, we would have a corresponding phone service or website to supplement this add and provide guidance◦ Increase effectiveness and maintenance (social
connectivity)
Conclusion

Partner with local community/church organizations ◦ Increase effectiveness, allow for higher adaptation
Decrease sedentary behavior in older adults◦ Increase confidence, self-efficacy◦ Educate about PA benefits and disease risks ◦ Provide positive role models
