What works in real-world implementation? Practice-based insights from the ENJOY IMP-ACT project promoting physical activity among older adults.
Article in Health promotion international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Physical inactivity among older adults remains a significant public health issue. Age-friendly active spaces with the Seniors Exercise Park equipment in local parks offer an accessible, low-cost opportunity to promote health through physical activity. The ENJOY IMP-ACT project was a multi-site implementation initiative aimed at scaling up the use of the Seniors Exercise Park across six sites in Victoria, Australia. This paper examines factors influencing implementation and uptake. A descriptive practice-based implementation insights approach was used to evaluate the ENJOY IMP-ACT project. Data sources included staff field notes, meeting minutes and park-based activity tracking. Insights were categorized using the TERM framework: training, engagement, resource development, and marketing. Additional analysis considered environmental and organizational factors affecting delivery and uptake. Coordinated planning with local government staff, flexible timelines, and tailored training delivery supported effective program implementation. Local governments with dedicated project officers, clear internal processes, and targeted community engagement strategies demonstrated higher levels of participation. Site visibility, access to amenities, and proactive promotion influenced park usage. Organizational factors, such as changes in staff or limited resources, created barriers to continuity. Efforts to adapt to local contexts, such as modifying training models or leveraging community events, were also important for success. The ENJOY IMP-ACT project highlights the value of a flexible, multi-components implementation framework supported by local partnerships. Consideration of both environmental and organizational factors is essential for sustained delivery of age-friendly health promotion initiatives. These findings offer actionable insights to guide future scale-up efforts in community settings.
