Program enjoyment
“What did you enjoy about the program?” |
-
•
“I liked that it was a group of similar people (fitness-wise) so nobody was or felt out of place. I liked that it wasn't focused on rules or winning - you were just going to have fun. I also enjoyed the friendly level of competition in this.” Female – 23 years of age
-
•
“I'm used to playing everything competitively and it was really nice for a change to just get out and join a group of people who weren't as competitive. It made me focus more on the enjoyment as opposed to crushing opponents.” Female – 27 years of age

Program recommendation
“Why would you recommend (or not recommend) the program?” |
-
•
“I'd recommend the program because I had a good time and think it's a program different types of people would enjoy. You don't need to be most alethic - or you could be, it really doesn't matter. This is universal, is for all, and many would enjoy.” Female – 23 years of age
-
•
“I know a lot of people who have a hard time getting out and about and moving - I think it'd be good for them, and something different, too, rather than just walking on a treadmill. Get people out for something different.” Male – 43 years of age
|
Safety perceptions
“How did the focus on safety impact your overall program experience?” |
-
•
“The fact that we would sanitize the game ball and our hands after every round definitely helped with the safety. Also, the fact that we were required to wear our masks at all times helped, too.” Male – 31 years of age
-
•
“Only thing is wanting to celebrate and high-five with each other, and with the masks and sweating, you just unconsciously pull the mask down and wipe the sweat off of your face. In my opinion, you just need to be more conscious of those things - don't high-five, and don't wipe your face.” Female 39 – years of age
|
Social connectedness
“How did the focus on safety impact your overall sense of social connectedness?” |
-
•
“The focus was a positive because the rules were established and made everyone feel safe and know they/we can still talk and converse at a distance. Again, I thought it was very positive.” Male – 43 years of age
-
•
“Net positive - I'm honing in on shared experience of all of us sanitizing at the end of each period, and I think this increased group cohesion. The promoting of the safety feature as taking part in the program helped to bring us together.” – Male 35 years of age
|
Willingness to continue
“What aspects of the program made you feel this way?” |
-
•
YES: “I liked a scheduled regimen for my to-do list. Even on the rainy night, I knew the program was there, so I went. I was glad I went because I ended up having fun.” Female – 23 years of age
-
•
YES: “I enjoyed the social part and the fact that it was not boring. It was sports that we could all participate in regardless of our skill level. This wasn't just recess playing dodgeball.” Female – 40 years of age
