**3.1 Development and Purpose of HEPOP®**

To maintain the physical and mental functions of older individuals whose social activities were limited because of the prolonged spread of COVID-19 and other factors and to create materials that would allow nonprofessionals to provide appropriate advice regarding exercise and activity, the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology published a "Home Exercise Program for Older People" (NCGG-HEPOP®). This program was drafted mainly by therapists and completed by considering advice and opinions from specialist physicians from each department and multiple other professionals.
