促进老年人的身体活动有望促进健康和减少残疾风险。以个人和社区为基础的项目通常被认为是截然不同的，在某些情况下，甚至是对立的。本文的目的是通过使用生态模型来说明，个人和社区项目是互补的。本文主要讨论了以下几个问题：(1)跨学科理论的发展；(2)建立更好的措施来解决个体行为、群体行为、建筑环境以及生物、行为和环境因素的时间序列之间的联系；(3)将研究成果转化为实践和政策；(4)培养新一代的学者和实践者，以发展和执行该领域的研究、实践和政策议程。生态模式建立在生物、行为和环境因素基础上的综合议程。对个人与环境相互作用的研究具有挑战性，但可能比研究个人或环境单独在促进体育活动中的作用更重要。
The promotion of physical activity in older populations holds the promise of promoting health and reducing the risk of disablement. Individual- and community-based programs are often presented as being distinct and, in some cases, antithetical. The objective of this paper is to illustrate, through the use of an ecologic model, that individual- and community-based programs are complementary. The following topics are discussed: (1) the development of transclisciplinary theories; (2) the establishment of better measures to address the linkages across individual behavior, group behavior, the built environment, and the temporal sequence of biological, behavioral, and environmental factors; (3) the translation of research into practice and policies; and (4) the training of a new generation of scholars and practitioners to develop and execute research, practice, and policy agendas in this area. An ecologic model fosters a comprehensive agenda based on biological, behavioral, and environmental factors. The study of the interaction of the individual with the environment is challenging but potentially more important than the study of the role of the individual or the environment alone in the promotion of physical activity.
