TABLE IV. EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION OF FOCUS GROUP FINDINGS TO CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT.

Finding	Application
Predisposing
Participants were unfamiliar with physical activity guidelines.	Physical activity guidelines are given in the information–gap, jigsaw, and guided discussion exercises.
Few individuals described specific diseases that can be prevented by physical activity. Participants thought that educational materials should address the negative consequences of being physically inactive.	Information about the specific diseases that can be prevented by physical activity is provided in three of the exercises.
Some participants believed that it is inappropriate for older people to engage in physical activity, and most believed that older people should not engage in vigorous physical activity. Participants thought that educational materials should recognize traditional Chinese beliefs about vigorous physical activity for older people.	The jigsaw exercise emphasizes that everyone can benefit from physical activity and provides information about physical activities that are enjoyed by people of different ages. A problem/advice card addresses physical activity for older people.
Reinforcing
Social support of physical activity was considered an important reinforcing factor.	The warm-up, video, guided discussion, and problem/advice card exercises address social support for physical activity.
Enabling
Cited barriers to physical activity included lack of time, financial concerns, weather conditions, and lack of information about physical activity facilities. Participants thought educational materials should address barriers to physical activity.	Lack of time is addressed in the information–gap, video, and problem/advice card exercises. Financial costs and weather conditions are addressed in the problem/advice card exercise The guided discussion exercise teaches students how to find out about community resources for physical activity.
