A community-based modified sport program for rural community dwelling older adults: A pilot study
The primary objectives of this study were to identify the factors influencing participation in a modified sport program for community-dwelling adults aged 60 years or over who live in a rural town in Vicotria, Australia and assess participant satisfaction with a pilot modified sport program. The secondary objectives were to: examine any changes in self-reported social connectedness and physical activity after participating in a modified sport program; and explore the feasibility of a modified sport program for community-dwelling older adults in a rural community.
