Mindful Movement for Physical Activity and Wellbeing in Older Adults

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Physical Inactivity

In brief

Physical inactivity has reached pandemic proportions and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Of particular concern is that most middle to older age adults fall far short of recommendations for health enhancing physical activities. This research takes a novel approach to tackling this problem by combining mindfulness with behavioral strategies in a unique 'Mindful Movement' program offered through YMCA community facilities.
