Portuguese Fit & Strong! for Older Adults With Osteoarthritis

Consistent with the original format of F\&S!, the classes met three times per week for 90 minutes each for 8 weeks (24 sessions in total). Each class session consisted of 60 minutes of exercise and 30 minutes of health education. The exercise protocol included 10 minutes of warm-up and cool-down exercises, 20 minutes of low-intensity aerobic exercises, and 20 minutes of lower extremity strengthening exercises. The health education program focused on symptom management and behavioral strategies to increase physical activity and commitment to lifestyle change.
