由苏格兰中部的“积极斯特林”组织提供的“几代人一起积极”（GAT）方案是一项针对高中青少年和养老院和社区团体中的老年人的代际体育活动（PA）方案。数字化生成老年人积极生活（GOALD）研究小组试图使用GAT来研究如何使用为PA和基于运动的回忆而开发的数字技术来改善老年人的社会联系。本文详细介绍了GAT计划的挑战和成功之处，并描述了大流行前亲自交付GAT与大流行期间尝试的数字交付之间的差异。从GAT交付到GOALD项目规划和实施的可转移经验教训包括，但不限于，两代人亲自开展活动的重要性，以及使用数字技术作为PA交付的补充工具，而不是替代工具。
The Generations Active Together (GAT) program, delivered by Active Stirling in central Scotland, is an intergenerational physical activity (PA) program for adolescents in high school and older adults in care homes and community groups. The Generating Older Active Lives Digitally (GOALD) Research Team sought to use GAT to examine how digital technology developed for the purpose of PA and sports-based reminiscence can be used to improve social connectedness for older adults. This paper details the challenges and successes of delivering the GAT program and describes the differences between in-person pre-pandemic delivery of GAT with the attempted digital delivery during the pandemic. The transferable lessons learned from GAT delivery to GOALD project planning and implementation included, but are not limited to, the importance of in-person activities for both generations and using digital technology as a complementary, rather than a replacement tool for PA delivery.
