Implementing feasible and effective remote support strategies may enhance their physical activity participation. This mixed-methods study examines exercise providers\u2019 use of remote supports for physical activity among older adults, their perceived effectiveness, and barriers and facilitators to adoption during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Exercise providers (\u226518\u202fyears) completed a web-based survey (June\u2013September 2020), and optional semi-structured interviews (September\u2013December 2020), guided by the COM-B model. Participant characteristics, uptake and perceived effectiveness of remote supports, and presence and severity of barriers were explored and analyzed with inductive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty-one exercise providers (age 36.3\u202f\u00b1\u202f12.3\u202fyears, 38 female) completed the survey; 86% provided remote support for physical activity, including provision of copy materials (63%) and delivery of real-time virtual programs (59%), with the latter rated the most effective (88%). Key barriers included older adults\u2019 limited technical skills (78%) and access to technology (82%).

While there were challenges including safety concerns, technological barriers, and engagement, these challenges were met with innovative solutions. A hybrid approach may be the most sustainable model, balancing the accessibility of virtual programs with the social and motivational benefits of in-person
