This study revealed that exercise adherence among geriatric individuals with SO is influenced by a complex interplay of factors. The key barriers identified were insufficient exercise confidence and lack of security. Future research should incorporate targeted behavioral intervention strategies, such as demonstration of the behavior, verbal persuasion about capability, pros and cons, and restructuring the physical environment, to effectively address the multifaceted challenges associated with SO in older adults. These strategies should be central to the development of effective intervention programs aimed at promoting physical activity among this cohort.
