Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Exercise Science
  • Behavioral Medicine

Background:

  • Physical activity is crucial for older adults' health, yet few meet recommended levels.
  • Observational studies suggest age and gender similarity in exercise groups enhance adherence.
  • Experimental evidence on this is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally investigate the impact of intra-group age and gender similarity on exercise adherence in older adults.
  • To compare the efficacy of different group-based exercise program compositions.

Main Methods:

  • The GrOup-based physical Activity for oLder adults (GOAL) trial is a three-arm randomized controlled trial.
  • Participants are assigned to groups based on age and gender similarity: similar-age/same-gender, similar-age/mixed-gender, or mixed-age/mixed-gender (control).
  • Adherence rates, moderation, and mediation effects will be analyzed.

Main Results:

  • This section is to be populated upon trial completion.

Conclusions:

  • Findings will inform intervention designs to boost exercise adherence in older adults.
  • Adapting group composition by age and gender is a feasible strategy for physical activity centers.
