Abstract

The community restrictions during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic adversely impacted older adults' physical activity levels. This convergent mixed-method study assessed the adaptation of the Recreovía, a community-based physical activity program in Bogotá, and characterized physical activity levels among older adult participants. Our results showed how the Recreovía adapted during the pandemic to continue promoting physical activity, through indoor and outdoor strategies, including virtual physical activity sessions and safety protocols. During this time, 72%-79% of the older adults attending the adapted program were physically active. A greater proportion of park users (84.2%) and more people involved in vigorous physical activity were observed during Recreovía days. Older adults had positive experiences and perceptions of the Recreovía program related to their health and social well-being. Even though the older adults prefer being outdoors, the adapted program allowed participants to continue with their physical activity routines as much as possible during the pandemic.

新冠肺炎封锁期间Recreovía的适应：使哥伦比亚波哥大的老年人可以进行体育活动。

2019冠状病毒病大流行期间的社区限制对老年人的体育活动水平产生了不利影响。这项趋同的混合方法研究评估了波哥大一个基于社区的体育活动项目Recreovía的适应性，并表征了老年参与者的体育活动水平。我们的研究结果显示，Recreovía如何在疫情期间适应，通过室内和室外策略，包括虚拟体育活动会议和安全协议，继续促进体育活动。在这段时间里，参加适应计划的老年人中有72%-79%的人参加了体育活动。在RecreovíA期间，观察到更大比例的公园使用者（84.2%）和更多的人参与了剧烈的体育活动。老年人对Recreovía计划有着积极的体验和看法，这与他们的健康和社会福利有关。尽管老年人更喜欢户外活动，但经过调整的计划允许参与者在疫情期间尽可能多地继续他们的体育活动。

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.
