Gardening is a very popular leisure activity for adults aged 65 or older in the US. A recent study set out to determine if gardening enables older adults to meet the official PA recommendations. The study was conducted on 14 gardeners aged 63-86 years. Subjects reported, on average, gardening about 33 hours per week during May, but averaged only 15 hours per week in June and July. The researchers concluded that gardening is a great way for older adults to meet the physical activity recommendations.
