This study examined equity in physical activity (PA) by investigating whether perceived opportunity for PA was associated with willingness to be more active. Among community residents (75, 80, or 85 years old, n = 962) perceived opportunity for PA (poor and good), willingness to be more active (not at all, a bit, and a lot), and level of PA (low, moderate, and high) were assessed via questionnaires. Multinomial logistic regression showed that physical activity moderated the association between poor opportunity and willingness to increase PA. Among those with moderate PA, poor opportunity for PA increased the odds of willingness to be a lot more active (multinomial odds ratio, mOR 3.90, 95% confidence interval 2.21–6.87) than not wanting to be more active compared to those perceiving good opportunities. Associations were similar at high PA levels (p < 0.001), but were not found at low PA levels. Those with moderate or high PA wish to increase their activity particularly when the perceived opportunities for activity are not optimal. Among those with low PA, perceived opportunities are not associated with a perceived need to increase physical activity. Increasing equity in physical activity in old age requires provision of support and opportunities at every level of physical activity.

This study was conducted in collaboration of two research projects: Equality in Participation in Physical Activity in Old Age (Equal-Part) research project funded by Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture (P.I. M.R.) and Active Aging—Resilience and external support as modifiers of the disablement outcome (AGNES) research project funded by European Research Council as an Advanced grant to T.R. In addition, funding has been obtained from Academy of Finland (personal grant number 285747 to M.R.) and Finnish Ministry of Education (P.I. E.P.) ...Lisenssi

Relationships of leisure-time physical activity and work ability between different occupational physical demands in adult working men
Päivärinne, Ville; Kautiainen, Hannu; Heinonen, Ari; Kiviranta, Ilkka (Springer, 2019)Purpose: Leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) is known to be associated with positive health benefits, but the role of occupational physical demands remains inconsistent. The purpose of the current study was to assess ... -

Free-living sit-to-stand kinematics as an indicator of lower extremity physical function
Löppönen, Antti (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2023)Strength-demanding daily activities such as sit-to-stand (STS) transitions are essential for independent living among older adults. Measurement of STS transitions using advanced wearables offers a broader picture of physical ...
