Key Points

To evaluate awareness, participation levels, barriers, and institutional support strategies related to physical activity for promoting active aging among staff and retirees.
Descriptive survey research design conducted at the Federal College of Education in Pankshin, Nigeria.
Administered structured questionnaires to gather data on physical activity engagement, awareness, and institutional barriers (N=60 staff and retirees).
Participants showed high awareness of physical activity benefits for physical health, chronic disease reduction, and mental alertness, but active participation remained moderate.
Common physical activities included walking, jogging, and stretching, while key barriers included lack of time, inadequate facilities, financial constraints, and poor motivation.
Statistical hypothesis testing confirmed that awareness and institutional support significantly enhance active aging, whereas resource and schedule constraints significantly hinder engagement.
