研究概览
简要总结
This study investigates how walking exercises and technology could enhance the quality of life in the older generation. It has three objectives: 1) To examine the effectiveness of the Connect Active Program (CAP) in improving intergenerational relationships, psychological well-being, and physical fitness for older adults; 2) To teach older adults to use mobile apps; 3) To examine the experiences and feedback from participants in using the apps and joining the CAP. This research will provide long-term insights into improving the overall health outcomes of older adults via intergenerational support and increasing the acceptance of mobile technology among older adults.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control group
Participants in the control group will be provided with a leaflet as usual care. The pamphlet contains information about the benefits and some instructions for walking exercises for older adults.
Experimental group
Participants in the intervention group will participate in a 6-week Connect Active Program (CAP). Young participants will be the pioneers and take the initiative to change their inactive and sedentary lifestyles by including exercise into their daily routines about once a week, at least 45 minutes each time. For instance, they could organize family field trips to waterfront parks or involve their older family members in their favorite sports. All walking activities included in the study should be done with the Nike Run Club App for record and outcome measures. For other activities in CAP, participants will use other apps following that week's topic. For instance, they will use Google Maps to search for the best routes to their destinations; transportation apps such as Kowloon Motor Bus, Long Win Bus, and Mass Transit Railway apps to search for stops and exits.
干预措施: Connect Active Program (Other)
