Summary

The objective of this study is to recruit a group of older adults and study a broad set of physical health, mental health, and social outcomes when participants exercise with an older adult, peer-led exercise program.

The program to be evaluated is called Zoomers on the Go. It is a 12-week program which involves two 60-minute sessions per week and educates participants about falls, along with aerobic and resistance exercise, flexibility, and balance activities. The program is offered to older adults (age 50+) and it is delivered in their community by an older adult who is trained as a certified Zoomers group exercise leader.

Participants will be recruited, then randomized so that half of them can participate in a Zoomers class in the spring (intervention group) while half will have to wait until the fall of 2019 (control group). Pre-testing for both groups will begin around March 2019. The intervention group will participate in the program for 12 weeks, then there will be post-testing following this 12-weeks for both groups. Outcomes will be compared for the intervention and control groups, to determine if there are changes in the data pre- to post-measurements that are evident solely for the intervention group.
