Methodological Challenges in Physical Activity Research With Older Adults

---

Abstract.
The aging adult population is growing, as well as the incidence of chronic
illness among older adults. Physical activity (PA) has been demonstrated in
the literature to be a beneficial component of self-management for chronic
illnesses commonly found in the older adult population. Health sciences
research seeks to develop new knowledge, practices, and policies that may
benefit older adults’ management of chronic illness and quality of life. However,
research with the older adult population, though beneficial, includes potential
methodological challenges specific to this age group. This article discusses
common methodological issues in research among older adults, with a focus
on PA intervention studies. Awareness and understanding of these issues may
facilitate future development of research studies devoted to the aging adult
population, through appropriate modification and tailoring of sampling techniques,
intervention development, and data measures and collection.

Keywords: older adult, elderly, physical activity, methods
