Exploring Older Adult’s Views of the Age-Inclusivity of Physical Activity Websites Using the Think Aloud Method: Qualitative Analysis
Websites providing access to physical activity could be more inclusive of older adults by using more diverse imagery, providing clearer descriptions of the activities on offer, along with details of the level of fitness or ability needed to take part, and providing alternatives to web-based booking. Additional societal-level approaches to reducing age-limiting self-stereotyping may also be useful in expanding the opportunities for older adults to access mainstream provisions for physical activity.
