A mixed-methods investigation of successful aging among older women engaged in sports-based versus exercise-based leisure time physical activities Academic Article uri icon

Abstract

  • Older adults who continue to be physically active are in the minority. While research lists barriers to activity, little is known about the reasons some older adults continue to be active. This mixed-methods study compares active older women in different physically-based leisure activities to identify reasons for continued activity and the contribution of the activity to successful aging.
