Promoting Physical Activity for Elderly People: Towards a Hybrid Coaching?
Abstract
By using a qualitative method (focus group) with 42 seniors, this exploratory study is aiming to investigate attitudes and opinions of seniors about five types of trainers/coaches (self-training, human personal trainer, robot, virtual immersion, E-coach) to promote physical activity. Our results tend to confirm that a hybrid solution such as an E-coach (combining human appearance and digital dimensions) could be the most relevant and acceptable for elderly people to promote and maintain physical activity at home.
