Summary
This pilot study tested whether a 12-week group exercise program led by community members is feasible for older adults in Saulteaux First Nation. Twenty participants exercised twice weekly at a community center. Researchers measured attendance, physical activity, quality of life, and social connectedness. The goal was to see if the program could be easily adopted and enjoyed by the community.
