Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Public Health
  • Exercise Science and Wellness Studies

Background:

  • Middle-aged adults experience significant physical and psychosocial challenges impacting overall wellness.
  • Exercise is recognized for its benefits to physical and psychosocial health, making it a cornerstone of wellness interventions.
  • Current understanding of exercise-focused wellness interventions specifically for middle-aged adults is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review identifying and mapping literature on exercise-focused wellness interventions for middle-aged adults.
  • To summarize the characteristics of these interventions, including content, delivery, and duration.
  • To report on the outcomes associated with these exercise-focused wellness interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review methodology was employed.
  • Six major academic databases were searched, with subsequent screening of reference lists.
  • Included studies were interventional, specifically randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental designs, focusing on exercise for middle-aged adults.

Main Results:

  • Fifteen studies (9 RCTs, 6 quasi-experimental) were included, predominantly targeting middle-aged women in community settings.
  • Interventions commonly combined exercise with diet and stress management, typically lasting 3 months with weekly sessions.
  • Positive outcomes were frequently reported for physical and psychosocial health, with limited changes observed in biochemical markers.

Conclusions:

  • Exercise-focused wellness interventions demonstrate varied content and outcomes, positively impacting physical, psychological, and social health dimensions.
  • Diverse delivery modes highlight the adaptability of these interventions for tailored approaches.
  • There is a critical need for a validated, midlife-specific wellness measurement tool and the development of targeted interventions for middle-aged men, particularly in workplace settings.
