Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | Springer Nature | Source: | BMC Geriatrics, 21 (1) (Art N° 81) | Abstract: | Background: Maintaining or initiating regular physical activity (PA) is important for successful aging. Technology-based systems may support and stimulate older adults to initiate and persevere in performing PA. The aim of the current study was to assess to which extent a customised Kinect system is 1) a credible tool to increase PA in older adults, 2) motivating to perform PA by older adults, and 3) easy to be used in older adults. | Keywords: | Physical functioning;physical health;activity | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/33281 | ISSN: | 1471-2318 | e-ISSN: | 1471-2318 | DOI: | 10.1186/s12877-021-02021-3 | ISI #: | 000615981800003 | Rights: | The Author(s). 2021.
