Recreational activities performed outside and adapted to accommodate the physical capabilities and limitations of older adults fall under the category of open-air pastimes designed for senior citizens. Examples include lawn bowling, modified croquet, walking groups, and adapted gardening activities.
Participation in these activities contributes to enhanced physical and mental well-being for seniors. Regular engagement promotes cardiovascular health, improves muscle strength and balance, and helps maintain cognitive function. Historically, providing opportunities for seniors to participate in such endeavors has been recognized as a valuable component of community-based health initiatives.
