Description
Jordana Salma and co-authors run an outdoor walking program with older Muslim immigrants in Canada in a 2024 study. Many older newcomers live sedentary lives, and a program must fit their culture and faith to be accepted.
Thirteen participants, with a mean age near sixty seven, were recruited through an Edmonton mosque. After group talks shaped the plan, weekly walks ran for ten weeks in an accessible park with benches and restrooms, led by a fitness instructor. Trackers counted steps, and interviews followed. Three things raised satisfaction: company of peers, the instructor's guidance, and the activity trackers. Transport trouble and thin teaching content were the weak points the authors flag for improvement.
