Exploring and Understanding Physical Activity Amoung Older Adults

Alizadeh, H., Witcraft, A., Sharlin, E., and Tang, A. (2015). Exploring and Understanding Physical Activity Amoung Older Adults.

Abstract

This report explores the question of how older adults understand and experience exercise (and physical activity) in their everyday lives. We provide this understanding by deploying a cultural probe study with seven participants in two local retirement communities. The result of our work is a set of design goals for a system to support remote activity.
