During the aging process, muscle loss occurs at a faster rate compared to the decline of other organ functions, insufficient muscle strength results in sarcopenia. However, research has shown that sarcopenia is reversible and that exercise can halt muscle loss. Given these findings, the study utilized a user-centered design and the scenario method to develop a course structure based around problem-based learning, and aim to increase the fun among exercise for elderly individuals. The study revealed that based on problem-based learning course design enabled the students to learn by doing and experience the importance in teamwork. The empathy mapping allowed the students to think from other perspectives that facilitated their understanding of the elderly's pains and needs. Used the scenario method can expand the diversity of ideas, leading to the quick development of innovative designs, and bringing in technology solved possibilities for the elderly issue. The user-centered design method involved ideas closer to target users. With regard to assessing students learning reflections, had a positive growth based on a comparison of the pre-test and post-test results. It indicated that the course designed instructional approach was beneficial toward the students.
