What this trial studies

The Active Older Adults prospective cohort study investigates the impact of a park-based fitness program on cardiovascular fitness in individuals aged 50 and older. This program, run by Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation, offers low-cost group exercise sessions that include aerobic workouts, strength training, balance, and flexibility exercises. Sessions are conducted two to three times a week, either online or in-person, and aim to help participants maintain independent lifestyles. Data is collected every four months from various park locations to assess the program's effectiveness.
