Dr. Samantha Harden is a postdoctoral fellow working with Dr. Mark Beauchamp, an associate professor of kinesiology at UBC. Dr. Beauchamp has received funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to conduct a randomized control trial to increase exercise among older adults.
They have partnered with the YMCA at three locations in the Lower Mainland (Surrey, Langara, and downtown Vancouver) to evaluate the effectiveness of different types of group-based exercise programs. They aim to recruit 540 adults aged 65+ over the course of 2 years (270 adults in 2014 and the same in 2015).
