Join4Joy is a co-created approach designed to promote movement and social connection among older adults through enjoyable activities. This study examined its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects across five nursing homes in Spain, France, and Germany.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This multicentre mixed-method study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06100835) was delivered in two phases. Residents aged\u2009\u2265\u200965\u00a0years participated in 12 weekly 60-min PA sessions. Feasibility was assessed through attendance, procedural indicators, data completion, and retention; acceptability was evaluated using participant satisfaction and qualitative feedback, while safety was monitored throughout. Quantitative assessments evaluated physical function (SPPB), daily functioning (modified Barthel Index), quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), PA and sedentary behaviour (IPAQ-SF, SBQ, accelerometry), perceived improvement (PGI-I), and enjoyment (PACES-SF). Qualitative interviews and focus groups explored participant experiences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 81 enrolled residents, 75 completed the intervention (retention\u2009=\u200992.6%). Attendance was high (73.8\u201395.0%), no adverse events occurred. Quantitative outcomes indicated small favourable or no changes in physical and daily functioning, quality of life, PA and sedentary behaviour, perceived improvement, and enjoyment. Qualitative themes highlighted enjoyment, social connection, confidence, and the value of tailored, playful activities, confirming high acceptability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Join4Joy is safe, feasible to deliver, and well received, demonstrating the viability of a future definitive trial.
