Summary

This study examines the effects of a physical activity and behavioral program, called Active for Life, to promote increased physical activity and reduced sedentary behavior of older adults who live in assisted living. A sedentary lifestyle is very common in this population and if this program is successful it will be used to promote physical activity and improve the health of older adults in assisted living.

Conditions

  • Sedentary Behavior

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Active for Life: Assisted Living

Each intervention session will take place within the assisted living facility twice a week for 12 weeks. Sessions will begin with 5-10 minutes of walking in the hallway. Participants will be encouraged to walk at their own pace and allowed to take breaks if needed. Next, behavioral strategies based on the construct of self-efficacy from social cognitive theory and education about physical activity will be delivered. This component is scheduled between the walking and circuit training, lasts 15-20 minutes, and serves as a rest period. Circuit training will focus on strength and balance. Approximately 8 exercise stations will be set up, and the exercises performed at each station will be changed approximately every 4 weeks. The circuit training will last \~30-40 minutes, with participants moving from one station to the next at their own pace and taking breaks in between.
