| Abstract | The purpose of this research was to develop a physical activity model. The research instruments included a questionnaire and a focus group. Content analysis was conducted to analyze a physical activity model of the elderly in Lat Ya Subdistrict Municipality, Kanchanaburi Province. Analytical statistics used was Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient at a significant level of .05 and descriptive statistics used included frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of factors relating to physical activities of the elderly. The socio-demographic data factors were analyzed for correlation with physical activities and sedentary behavior of the elderly. The findings revealed that:1. Sex and age were negatively correlated with sedentary behavior, while income was positively correlated with sedentary behavior. 2. Status and health condition were positively correlated with recreational activities, while health condition was positively correlated with highly intense work activities. 3. Enabling factors (free time, equipment, and facilities) were negatively correlated with recreational activities and had a negative correlation with highly intense work activities. The results that were divided into two aspects: 1) propriety standard with community characteristics, and 2) feasibility standard for implementation. It was found that the model is most suitable with the average of 88.80 and standard deviation of 0.95. It indicates that the physical activity model of the elderly in Lat Ya Subdistrict Municipality, Kanchanaburi Province, using a participatory process, is appropriate and can be practically applied to the elderly. |
