Volunteers Needed for an Outdoor Walking Study
We are looking for adults 60-90 years old to participate in an outdoor walking study!
This study measures how you walk on three different outdoor surfaces. If you are eligible to participate, we will ask you to come to Kessler Mountain Regional Park (2600 WC 200, Fayetteville, Arkansas) for a one-time visit that lasts approximately 1.5 hours. As a participant, you will also be asked to complete several online questionnaires and measures of physical activity, physical function and thinking.
If interested, take this survey to find out if you are eligible.
