Abstract

The changing term from active aging concept to healthy aging expressed by the World Health Organization (WHO) proves that this population is the priorities now. Since 2015, Indonesia has already been in the state of Aging Population with falling fertility rates and rising life expectancy. Considering the increasing number of the elderly population in Indonesia, then the study in this area becomes essential. This preliminary study tries to determine the relationship between physical activities and quality of life in order to explore the specific type of physical activities done by the elderly. Descriptive statistics were done in the form of mean, standard deviation and percentages to summarize the sample based on characteristics, PASE (Physical Activities Score for Elderly) and OPQOL-Brief (Older People Quality of Life - Brief). The findings of this study showed that the elderly in Indonesia was less active in moderate, strenuous sport, and muscle activities, thus possibly increasing the risk of Sarcopenia. Considering the existing condition and broader range of Sarcopenia’s prevalence, there are three design recommendations in the form of a modified free weight device to change the elderly’s sedentary to become a more active lifestyle. Each option represents different consideration as follows: nurture association, gamification, social network, time of use, and progress detection.
