Introduction and purposeAging is a common process in life. As we age, functional abilities deteriorate and pose serious health risks. So, for older adults, keeping them physically active is an important role in their healthy aging. This will help them maintain their independence and enjoy their life as long as they live. Engaging in physical activity will reduce the risk of chronic conditions and improve mood and well-being. Being physically active by participating in regular physical activities has an important health benefit that has been well documented. Despite the benefits of daily physical activity, large numbers of older adults continue to lead inactive lifestyles. This study was conducted on older people living in LTC on their barriers in carrying out physical activity. In 2007, the WHO invited researchers to conduct a study on the reasons for physical inactivity in older adults. This study was able to improve patient outcomes because older adults are aware of the importance of staying active and leading healthy, meaningful lives as they age. Literature review The author reviewed previous studies on barriers to regular physical activity in the community where older people live (Jones and Nies 1996, Conn 1998, Heesch et al 2003, Lin et.al 2007). But the review shows that few studies have been conducted among older adults living in LTC on the barriers they face in their physical activity. Nursing practice areas are to identify barriers that prevent older adults from engaging in physical activity. The development of a treatment plan and interventions depend on individual problems. Study Design Qualitative exploratory design is used in this study… halfway through the paper… here are barriers among older adults staying in LTC centers. obstacles are physical health problems and physical frailty, fear of injury or falls, past sedentary lifestyle, insufficient understanding of physical activity and environmental restrictions. Health care providers have an important role in influencing these older adults to engage in regular physical activity. This study suggests that health professionals need to address these barriers to develop and maintain physical activity. It is also important to provide a supportive environment. Change in behavior cannot happen overnight, so a continuous practice of physical activity is necessary. For most older residents the LTC becomes the permanent home, so the healthcare provider must develop an ongoing relationship with these residents. These findings have contributed to nursing knowledge.
