Our #review identifies key #barriers and #facilitators to implementing #physicalactivity programs for residents in aged care facilities.

[A/Prof Joyce Siette @jsiette]

Snapshot of our findings:
- Barriers: understaffing, resident fatigue, lack of motivation, distrust of staff
- Facilitators: structured and tailored programs, group exercises for social interaction, frequent sessions
