Web-based physical activity interventions for older adults: A review

Most web-based physical activity interventions were built based on the principles of universal design and may have overlooked age-related impair- ments experienced by older adult. Thus, it is intriguing to know how successful these web-based interventions are in enhancing older adult’s physical acti...
