Summary
Physical activity (PA) has physical, emotional, and cognitive benefits for seniors (e.g., increased strength and balance, reduced frailty, fewer falls, improved brain function, lower mortality risk), yet many seniors have limited access to exercise options due to numerous barriers (e.g., transportation concerns, financial costs, fear of injury/falling). This project will overcome common exercise barriers by creating an interactive web-enabled TV program (i.e., Smart TV), adapted from research-based PA protocols, to be implemented in an Independent Living Facility (ILF) setting. A web-based prototype will be developed, and ILF residents and administrators will be able to create, use, and evaluate a customizable exercise program tailored to the individual's preferred type of exercise, intensity, and duration.
