20.500.12556/RUL-167900 Older adults' perceptions of online physical exercise management The study addresses the challenges of digitally transforming physical exercises for older adults (aged more than 55 years) to be performed in virtual environments (during the COVID-19 pandemic) as a long-term proactive strategic initiative in response to the global ageing society and technological development trend. A focus group with a sample of 24 older adults and three trainers were used as part of a 3-month physical exercise pilot conducted by the Jožef Stefan Institute to identify the skills and well-being gained and identify factors that influence success with online exercises for older adults on the individual and organisational levels. First, on the individual level, communication differences were identified when comparing face-to-face exercises with online exercises. Second, on the organisational level, the study identified several challenges arising from the digital transformation of exercises (i.e., onboarding, technical, structural, isolation and motivational). Finally, recommendations are proposed to transform older adults’ exercises when performed in a virtual environment. The study results can also benefit health management practices and theory in the work environment to ensure that older workers can still utilise their strengths to perform successfully while remaining healthy. Online physical exercises tailored to older adults’ needs and specifications could be provided as part of corporate wellness programmes in organisations. ageing older adults online physical exercise focus group health management age management true false true Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Članek v reviji 2025-03-19 15:16:31 2025-03-20 15:40:08 2025-03-21 03:57:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 14 str. article no. ǂ1303113 Vol. 12 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 614 2296-2565 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1303113 181081603 https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/public-health/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2024.1303113/full 1 c25eaa3b-04cb-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200809 fpubh-12-1303113.pdf fpubh-12-1303113.pdf 1 D82395E77F2C16145C294ABFBC73F062 639a4d8c8399ac4ae950aefdf5434f5b0395a8b81e87b91738836a6d54acd4f4 ee95c35a-04cb-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200810 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
