Embodied navigation: the influence of lived experience on physical activity and sedentary behavior among older adults

CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights how older adults' lived experiences of physical activity, with their connections to body awareness and acceptance, impact daily physical activity. These findings offer new knowledge for clinical practitioners balancing recommendations of sedentary behaviour and physical activity, to promote healthy daily physical activity among older adults. Future research and policies should consider the lived experiences of older adults when addressing public health matters related to sedentary behaviour and physical activity.PMID:38349928 | PMC:PMC10866048 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2024.2313657
