“I value it, but someone should do it”: fitness staff’s perspectives on task-oriented resistance exercise in retirement communities
Fitness staff shared a positive impression of the program and recognized its potential to support at-risk residents. Nonetheless, they also identified several potential implementation challenges, including competing job responsibilities, limited staffing, and the lack of collaboration with healthcare professionals. These findings underscore the need for targeted strategies to address these challenges.
