Summary
This trial tests a program called OUTDOOR-FIT, designed to help mildly frail older adults become more physically active. Participants attend weekly workshops, use senior-friendly outdoor exercise equipment, and get support from volunteers and a mobile app. The goal is to see if this approach improves physical activity, confidence, mental well-being, and reduces loneliness, compared to usual care.
