Abstract

Well-being and social interaction are among the primary goals to be achieved for the elderly. Intergenerational physical activity (PA) has gained increasing attention due to its potential to encourage PA and social interaction, providing both social and physical benefits to both younger and older individuals. This review aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the potential roles of PA in facilitating intergenerational interactions and provide practical insights. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, the systematic review identified specific keywords to search for articles that met the chosen inclusion and exclusion criteria (n. 5 RCT articles, selected between 2009 and 2024), conducted by three independent reviewers. Scopus, PubMed, EBSCOhost, and Web of Science were consulted to identify relevant articles. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane RoB 2. For the narrative dissertation, articles were identified across three key areas of focus: types of PA, age groups, and intended goals. Results: Few studies have specifically implemented PA protocols in intergenerational relationships, and most have planned remote activities without monitoring outcomes. The main advantages of intergenerational PA are oriented towards the social and relational sphere rather than simple PA involvement. Conclusions: For the elderly, these programs may help mitigate age-related deficits, while children and adolescents, when adapting to their older counterparts, experience greater effectiveness when provided with clear guidance during shared activities. Considering the characteristics and needs of individuals of different ages, different activities must be proposed to obtain different results. The organization of workshops and preparatory sessions will help in facilitating relationships and interactions among participants.

通过运动连接各代人:代际计划运作的 "方式和原因"--系统性和叙事性回顾。
幸福和社会交往是老年人要实现的主要目标之一。由于代际体育活动(PA)具有鼓励体育活动和社会交往的潜力,能为年轻人和老年人带来社会和身体方面的益处,因此越来越受到人们的关注。本综述旨在深入了解体育锻炼在促进代际互动方面的潜在作用,并提供实用的见解。方法:根据 PRISMA 指南,系统性综述确定了特定的关键词,以搜索符合所选纳入和排除标准的文章(5 篇 RCT 文章,选自 2009 年至 2024 年),由三位独立审稿人进行。查阅了 Scopus、PubMed、EBSCOhost 和 Web of Science,以确定相关文章。使用 Cochrane RoB 2 对偏倚风险进行了评估。对于叙事性论文,确定了三个主要关注领域的文章:PA 类型、年龄组和预期目标。结果:很少有研究在代际关系中具体实施 PA 协议,大多数研究只规划了远程活动,而没有监测结果。代际活动的主要优势在于社交和关系领域,而不是简单的活动参与。结论:对于老年人来说,这些计划可能有助于缓解与年龄有关的缺陷,而儿童和青少年在适应其年长的同龄人时,如果在共同活动中得到明确的指导,则会体验到更大的成效。考虑到不同年龄段个体的特点和需求,必须提出不同的活动建议,以取得不同的效果。组织研讨会和预备会议将有助于促进参与者之间的关系和互动。
