ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the Active Older Adults prospective cohort study, is looking at how a fitness program held in local parks can improve heart health and overall fitness for older adults aged 50 and older. The study is being conducted by Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation, and researchers from Duke University are analyzing the data collected to see how effective these park-based activities are for addressing issues like high blood pressure, being overweight, and other heart-related conditions.

To participate in this study, you need to be at least 50 years old and live in Miami-Dade County. If you meet these criteria and are part of the Miami-Dade Active Older Adults program, you can take part in the research. Participants can expect to engage in various physical activities in a community park setting, which aims to help improve their fitness and health. This study not only provides an opportunity for older adults to stay active but also contributes valuable information that could benefit the health of the community as a whole.
