This study aims to explore the impact of exercise interventions on health-promoting behaviors in older adults.
Quasi-experimental design recruiting 120 older adults over 65 years
Participants wore smart bracelets to track daily steps and calorie consumption
Intervention lasted for 8 weeks with monitored walking sessions
Positive medium−high correlation between healthy behaviors and health-promoting lifestyle scales was observed
Males showed strongest correlation between regular physical activity and physical activity; females between regular physical activity and social support
Explanatory power of healthy behaviors on health-promoting lifestyle: R2 = 70.9% for males (p < 0.01), R2 = 74.1% for females (p < 0.01)
