Motivations included providing opportunities for participants and keeping themselves and participants fit. Thirty\u2010four per cent\u00a0(<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200942) of the older participants reported an intent to join the online classes, which was primarily attributed to the desire to keep active and to socialise. However, over 60% of the respondents across both categories did not want to engage in online exercise classes. This was primarily attributed to a preference for face\u2010to\u2010face classes and lack of confidence in conducting or using online activities or services. Older participants who did not regularly exercise were statistically more likely to report perceived challenges attending an online class, and to identify the use of internet\u2010based technologies as a barrier to attendance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Digital literacy was a challenge for the older respondents, particularly for those who were not currently engaged in regular exercise. Organisations implementing online exercise programs should recognise that this form of delivery will pose challenges to cohorts of rural older people who are not undertaking regular physical activity and address the individual and environmental barriers to digital uptake.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajag.13359","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,2]],"date-time":"2024-09-02T18:13:56Z","timestamp":1725300836000},"page":"861-866","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Perceived acceptability of online volunteer\u2010led exercise classes: Perspectives of rural volunteer exercise leaders and older people"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Natalie","family":"McDermott","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Promotion Murrumbidgee Local Health District  Wagga Wagga New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Md Saifur","family":"Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Unit Murrumbidgee and Southern NSW Local Health Districts  Queanbeyan New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5972-9918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rachel","family":"Winterton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research  Wodonga Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nazmul","family":"Ahasan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technology Assessment and Access Division Health Resourcing Group Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care  Canberra Australian Capital Territory Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carly","family":"Barnes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Promotion Murrumbidgee Local Health District  Albury New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adelle","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Promotion Murrumbidgee Local Health District  Albury New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","article-title":"Exercise for preventing falls in older people living in the community","volume":"1","author":"Sherrington C","year":"2019","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40520-014-0254-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/01924788.2017.1376174"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geoforum.2016.04.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1332\/204080514X14020463739601"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12877-023-04184-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40520-020-01556-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnab141"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1071\/AHv45n1_ED2"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jrurstud.2016.06.016"},{"volume-title":"Measuring Australia's Digital Divide: the Australian Digital Inclusion Index 2020","year":"2020","author":"Thomas J","key":"e_1_2_10_12_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/poi3.286"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","unstructured":"Australian Bureau of Statistics.Search census data.https:\/\/www.abs.gov.au\/census\/find\u2010census\u2010data\/search\u2010by\u2010area.
