Publications and ProductsThe Reference Guide of Physical Activity Programs for Older Adults: A Resource for Planning Interventions
The Reference Guide of Physical Activity Programs for Older Adults: A Resource for Planning Interventions provides information on 17 physical activity programs that could be used with older adults having healthy to frail functional status. All of the programs contain physical activity components that might achieve important benefits for all older adults with diabetes. A limited number of the programs were designed specifically for those with diabetes or pre-diabetes. This guide is intended to be a tool that your organization can use to help choose the right physical activity program for the population you serve. To that end, this guide includes program elements such as demographic characteristics of the population that programs were designed to serve, program and participant costs, number and type of paid or volunteer staff required, any research conducted evaluating program efficacy or effectiveness, among others.
