Participants were mailed a survey instrument design to measure program-specific perceived social health benefits. Descriptive statistics were collected to describe the respondents and each of the survey items and subscales. A series of oneway analyses of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine if program-specific perceived social health benefits differed based on participant demographics. The study found that the majority of older adults taking part in the program associated participation with social health benefits. Program-specific perceived social health benefits varied based on gender and competitive status. Women and those players who labeled themselves as competitive rated their perceived social health benefits to be significantly higher. Findings of this study showed the potential effect a physical activity program can have on social health in older adults. Identifying perceived social health benefits associated with group physical activity may assist health professionals in developing effective health promotion programs. 2005 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1132171274 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1132171274 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
