Feasibility of an Intergenerational-Physical-Activity Leadership Intervention

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of an intergenerational-physical-activity leadership intervention. Intergenerational programs offer benefits to both the young and the old and physical activity (PA) is a novel approach. Findings: Both groups had high levels of satisfaction, leadership confidence, and intention to use what they learned; there was significantly more equipment and organized activities on the playground; and both age groups displayed positive affect during interactions. Conclusions: An intergenerational-physical-activity leadership intervention is feasible and has potential for encouraging PA and intergenerational interaction but needs further study.
