Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

Improving the fitness of older adults is a primary concern in countries with rapidly growing aging populations. This study examines older adults’ behavioral intention to engage in fitness activities using a bespoke pervasive game called Agoing. Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model, this study developed the UTAUT-LK model, ‘LK’ is an acronym for linear and knowledge. The UTAUT-LK model tested five independent variables in a single-group quasi-experiment. Data were collected from 378 participants using a 20-item questionnaire and subsequently analyzed through a structural equation model. The results indicate that effort expectancy (EE, p =.033), social influence (SI, p =.029), and hedonic motivation (HM, p
