ABSTRACT

This study explores the culture of physical exercise in a hybrid context formed by the combination of an aging society and Information and Communication technology. Examining the cultural aspects of an aging society and older adults exercise as its focal points, we find that modern society exhibits diverse tendencies, resulting in a hybrid character. Notably, the exercise culture among the older adults is evolving in conjunction with the advancements in Information and Communication technology. This phenomenon, characterized by temporal, spatial, and relational hybridity, enriches older adults exercise practices, providing seniors with more diverse exercise opportunities. Consequently, this research aims to enhance understanding of the hybrid physical culture in an aging society with Information and Communication technology and proposes strategies to offer better exercise environments and experiences for the older adults.
