This study was carried out to investigate the practicability of a PHYSICAL ACTIVITY promotion initiative amongst institutionalized OLDER PEOPLE in Tabriz, north eastern IRAN.Methods: Purposive sampling method was used in this semi-experimental study to recruit 31 OLDER PEOPLE living in a selected residential care in Tabriz, the capital city of East Azerbaijan Province, IRAN. Moderate-intensity aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity was planned for those who had not severe baseline cognitive impairment or were not too frail to undertake the survey. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) was used to measure MENTAL HEALTH status before and after intervention through a face-to-face interview. Descriptive statistics, Wilkcoxon rank-sum, Mann–Whitney U and Chi-Square tests were employed to analyses the data.Results: The applied intervention was significantly improved status of physical health, anxiety and insomnia, social dysfunction and severe depression.Conclusion: Incorporation of PHYSICAL ACTIVITY promotion programs into routines of OLDER PEOPLE residential care homes in IRAN is feasible but may need training of PHYSICAL ACTIVITY specialists to work with OLDER PEOPLE based on their physical endurance and limitations.
