This study indicated that the experimental group
had improved SEE, M-SEV, and some physical
performance components during the 12-week
exercise program. Community participation is needed
in a community-based intervention. With an intro-
duction to the elderly club at the potential settings,
key persons and community members had discussed
with the researcher about the objective, process, and
expected outcomes of the study. Key persons in each
study setting had helped to introduce the objective
of the study, find eligible participants, and motivate
eligible participants who had decided not to
participate at the first time. These key persons,
especially in the experimental setting, influenced
the possibility of adherence to exercise of study
participants during the study. Thus, key persons in
the community have potential to motivate study
participants to maintain their exercise behavior and
include exercise in their healthy lifestyle.
