We present data on the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of a hybrid (in-person and virtual) yoga, aerobic and stretching exercise program for OAs. N = 145 (36 male, Mage= 64) low active OAs participated 3x/ week for 6-months in a hybrid exercise program as part of a randomized controlled trial examining exercise effects on neurocognition. Attendance, attrition, format preferences, and adverse events were documented. Participants also completed a survey to detail their experiences and preferences with the hybrid delivery model. N = 119 completed the program with attendance ranging from 74% to 79% . On average across the three exercise groups, 37% and 63% of the attended sessions were on Zoom and in-person, respectively. On post-program surveys, a majority reported a preference for hybrid (50.4%) programs in the future, with only 19% reporting a preference for a fully virtual exercise program. Nine adverse events were reported, with 3 related or potentially related to the intervention and related assessments. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that a hybrid exercise program including modalities like yoga are feasible and safe for OAs, with participants attending 1 in every 3 sessions virtually. While elements of in-person exercise programming such as socialization with peers and hands on instruction with the exercise and yoga teachers were valued, the hybrid modality allowed OAs to overcome unique barriers which are paramount for adherence to exercise programs as well as other health interventions.","cbCaidUtjMvC7FiF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidUtjMvC7FiF","pdf",727552,"English","# Abstract\n## Study design and participants\n## Feasibility and adherence\n## Format preferences and acceptability\n## Safety and adverse events\n## Key conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What was the goal of the 6-month hybrid exercise intervention?\",\"answer\":\"To assess feasibility, safety, and acceptability of a hybrid (in-person and virtual) yoga, aerobic, and stretching program for older adults.\"},{\"question\":\"How were attendance and session format distributed during the trial?\",\"answer\":\"N=119 completed the program with 74%–79% attendance, and across exercise groups 37% of attended sessions were on Zoom while 63% were in-person.\"},{\"question\":\"What did participants report about future exercise delivery preferences?\",\"answer\":\"A majority preferred hybrid programs (50.4%), while only 19% preferred fully virtual exercise programs.\"},{\"question\":\"Were adverse events observed, and were they related to the intervention?\",\"answer\":\"Nine adverse events were reported, with 3 related or potentially related to the intervention and related assessments.\"}]","IMPLEMENTING A 6-MONTH HYBRID EXERCISE INTERVENTION FOR OLDER ADULTS - Feasibility of the SAY Exercise Trial | PDF",1790644412]
