Engaging community-dwelling older adults as co-developers in a public outdoor exercise facilities-based physical activity education intervention: A mixed-method participatory study in Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, an increasing number of outdoor exercise facilities have been established in public open spaces to promote physical activity (PA) in older adults. However, no intervention is dedicated in educating the public on how to make use of these resources to fulfil the PA guidelines based on behavioural change theory. This study has two phases, phase one aims to describe the participatory development of the intervention, and phase two is the evaluation of a public outdoor exercise facilities-based PA education intervention for community-dwelling older adults.

Understanding Outdoor Gyms in Public Open Spaces: A Systematic Review and Integrative Synthesis of Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence.

(1) Background: An outdoor gym (OG) is environmental infrastructure built in a public open space to promote structured physical activity.
