Physical Literacy and Physical Activities Among Older Persons with Hypertension
Keywords:
Physical literacy, Physical activities, Older persons with hypertensionAbstract
Physical literacy is one of the factors that ensures a person’s proper and continuous practice of physical activities. This correlational descriptive research aimed to examine the physical literacy and physical activities, and the association between the physical literacy and physical activities, among older persons with hypertension. Participants in this study were 84 older persons with hypertension attending a sub-district health promoting hospital in Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province, and selected using simple random sampling from June to September 2022. The research instruments used in this study included a demographic and illness data recording form, a questionnaire on perceived physical literacy, and a questionnaire on physical activity of older persons with hypertension. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product-moment correlation.
The results showed that participants had a moderate level of physical literacy and a high level of physical activities. Physical literacy had a positive, moderate, statistically significant correlation with physical activities (r = 0.318, p < .01).
The results provide basic information for health personnel in planning for promoting physical literacy to maintain appropriate physical activities among older persons with hypertension.
