Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with participation of community-dwelling older Australians (≥65 years) in the Exercise Right for Active Ageing program, consisting of 12 low- to moderate-intensity group exercise classes, delivered weekly, in person or online, by accredited exercise scientists and physiologists across Australia. Out of 6,949 participants recruited, 6,626 (95%) attended one or more classes and were included in the primary analysis, and 49% of participants attended all 12 classes. Factors associated with higher class attendance included participation in yoga/flexibility/mobility classes, attendance at a free trial class (adjusted incidence rate ratio [95% confidence interval]: 1.05 [1.03, 1.08]), and attending online classes (1.19 [1.11, 1.26]). Factors associated with lower class attendance included state of residence, living in inner regional areas (0.95 [0.93, 0.98]), and having two or more comorbidities (0.97 [0.95, 0.99]). High class attendance suggests that the Exercise Right for Active Ageing program was well received by older Australians, particularly in states less impacted by COVID-19 lockdowns.

积极老龄化运动权利研究:澳大利亚老年人在 COVID-19 大流行期间参加社区锻炼班的情况。
这项研究旨在确定与居住在社区的澳大利亚老年人(≥65 岁)参加 "积极老龄化正确运动 "计划相关的因素,该计划包括 12 个中低强度的集体运动课程,每周由澳大利亚各地经认证的运动科学家和生理学家亲自或通过网络授课。在招募的 6949 名参与者中,有 6626 人(95%)参加了一次或多次课程并被纳入主要分析,49% 的参与者参加了全部 12 次课程。与课程出席率较高相关的因素包括参加瑜伽/柔韧性/运动课程、参加免费试听课程(调整后的发生率比[95% 置信区间]:1.05 [1.03, 1.08])以及参加在线课程(1.19 [1.11, 1.26])。与课堂出勤率较低相关的因素包括居住州、居住在内陆地区(0.95 [0.93, 0.98])以及患有两种或两种以上合并症(0.97 [0.95, 0.99])。高出勤率表明,"正确运动,积极养老 "计划深受澳大利亚老年人的欢迎,尤其是在受 COVID-19 封锁影响较小的州。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional-application articles on the relationship between physical activity and the aging process. The journal encourages the submission of articles that can contribute to an understanding of (a) the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and social aspects of older adults and (b) the effect of advancing age or the aging process on physical activity among older adults. In addition to publishing research reports and reviews, JAPA publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs among older adults. Articles from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as from fields such as medicine, clinical psychology, physical and recreational therapy, health, physical education, and recreation, are appropriate for the journal. Studies using animal models do not fit within our mission statement and should be submitted elsewhere.
