    This study shows that interdisciplinary collaboration is key to successfully implementing exercise programs for sedentary older adults in long-term care. The "Sit and Get Fit" program, led by healthcare providers, proved effective and manageable for caregivers.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Health Services Research
    • Exercise Science

    Background:

    • Sedentary lifestyles are prevalent among older adults in long-term care facilities.
    • Effective exercise interventions are needed to improve health outcomes in this population.
    • Interdisciplinary collaboration can enhance the planning and execution of health programs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the planning, implementation, and evaluation of an exercise program for sedentary older adults.
    • To assess the feasibility of implementing an exercise program with paraprofessional caregivers.
    • To highlight the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in program success.

    Main Methods:

    • A collaborative approach involving health care providers and researchers.
