Résumé :
[en] BACKGROUND: Competition has been shown to improve motivation and physical performance in young people. This method has been rarely studied in older people. AIMS: To evaluate the feasibility of senior physical activity (PA) contests between two nursing homes and to assess changes in the motivational level and physical performance of the residents over time. METHODS: Residents from two Belgian nursing homes were invited to participate in PA contests. A pretest and three contest sessions were organized over a period of 3 months. The activities proposed were body balance, gait speed, sit-to-stand performance, arm curl and address tests. Feasibility was measured by contest session adherence (expected score > 80%), difficulty scores (expected score < 40%) and appreciation scores (expected score > 80%). Motivational questionnaires were administered: the BREQ-2 (assessing amotivation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, intrinsic motivation and external motivation) and the A-PMCEQ (assessing ego- and task-involving climates). Friedman's analysis of variance was performed to evaluate the changes in physical performance and motivational levels. RESULTS: Of the 24 participants, seven did not complete all sessions because of medical or personal reasons not related to the study. During the three sessions, the adherence was 86%, the mean difficulty score was 30.8% and the satisfaction score was 87%. After three sessions, residents experienced a significant decrease ranged from 3 to 0 point for amotivation (p = 0.03), 1 to 0 point for external motivation (p = 0.03) and 2.5 to 2 points for ego-involving climate (p = 0.02) and a significant improvement ranged from 0.7 to 0.9 m/s for gait speed (p < 0.001), 18.5 to 15.6 s for sit-to-stand performance (p < 0.001) and 11.5 to 15 curls for arm curl scores (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In nursing home settings, senior PA contests are feasible and may improve the motivational climate and physical performance.
