Abstract
Attitudes of Older Adults Towards a Blended Exercise Program
Highlights
Meer Bewegen voor Ouderen is a Dutch umbrella organization that aims to improve the physical, social and psychological wellbeing of senior citizens
As part of the VITAMINE project a qualitative study was conducted in order to determine a) the motivation of the participants to join the weekly classes b) the current level of physical activity outside the classes c) the susceptibility to an additional exercise program for the home environment and d) attitudes towards technology to support such a complementary exercise program
The participants recognized the benefits of an additional home exercise program, and had concerns about their ability to do this without guidance
