Since "JAPA's" inception in 1993, the majority of articles
published in it have been located in the quantitative paradigm.
These articles have been informative and furthered the field's
understanding about many quantifiable aspects of physical activity
in later life. In the course of quantifying physical performance,
functional capabilities, and psychological characteristics of the
aged, the ineffable and less tangible are either suppressed or
absent. Hence, the stories about aging and physical activity are
incomplete, and the central character is hidden from the text.
As a result, this special issue of "JAPA" is devoted solely to
qualitative research by providing a variety of examples that
illustrate how investigations located in this framework can
illuminate our understanding, as well as bring alternative meanings
to the way we think about and define aging and physical activity.
Furthermore, this special issue will challenge and enrich the way
research is reported.
