Motivators and barriers for older people participating in resistance training

a systematic review

Burton, E., Farrier, K., Lewin, G., Pettigrew, S., Hill, A., Bainbridge, L., & Hill, K.D. (2017). Motivators and barriers for older people participating in resistance training: a systematic review. Journal of aging and physical activity 25 (pp. 311-324)

In total, 92 motivators and 24 barriers were identified. Motivators specific to participating in resistance training included preventing deterioration (disability), reducing risk of falls, building (toning) muscles, feeling more alert, and better concentration. Looking too muscular and thinking participation increased the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or death, despite the minimal likelihood of these occurring, were barriers. The analysis indicates that increasing participation in resistance training among older people should focus on the specific benefits valued by older people and the dissemination of accurate information to counter misperceptions.
