Regular physical activity (PA) is of central importance for healthy ageing. However, in Germany, only 42% older adults currently reach the PA recommendations World Health Organization. The aim this study was to examine effects two web-based interventions on aged 65–75 years living Northwestern Germany compared a delayed intervention control group (CG). 589 were randomized one three groups. Participants 1 (IG1) received access ten weeks assisting them self-tracking behavior. IG2 IG1 and...
Regular physical activity (PA) is a key contributor to healthy ageing. However, despite known health benefits, only one third of older adults in Germany reach the PA levels recommended for persons aged 65 years and above by World Health Organization. The aim current study evaluate effectiveness two web-based interventions initiation maintenance regular (i.e., intervention groups 1 2) compared delayed control group 75 years. Study participants will be randomly assigned three arms five...
Background Web‐based, theory‐driven interventions effectively promote older adults’ physical activity. Social‐cognitive mechanisms of their effect on stage change need to be further researched. Methods Older adults were randomly allocated intervention group 1 (10‐week online activity program), 2 (same program plus tracker), or delayed control group; n = 351 analyzed (59.6% originally individuals). Stages for recommended endurance and strength training social‐cognitive predictors assessed...
Physical activity (PA) and the reduction of sedentary behavior positively influence healthy aging. PA results in increases aerobic capacity strength is associated with less age-related cognitive decline. Further, a pronounced behavior, i.e. prolonged periods sitting or overall inactivity, mortality risk regardless level [1]. The interaction between dedicated exercise level, their effects on physical mental fitness has not yet been fully elucidated. 120 older adults (OA) participated 10-week...
Activity trackers are not just popular for personal wellbeing, but also used more and assessing physical activity in public health studies. However, they provide data that is much richer than from pedometers, different of lab equipment. Using tracker the assessment therefore requires methods to address properties, limitations, new opportunities arising these devices. We suggest a set measures can be applied study population's give insights into compliance, distribution intensity activity,...
