We know that regularly engaging in physical activity is critical to improvingquality of life, decreasing risks for a wide range of chronic diseases, enhancingsocial connections, and supporting us to age more healthfully. Despite this,older adults are the least active segment of the population in the UK andother Westernised countries. Our current health and social care systems arenot funded or designed to provide opportunities to support engagement indaily physical activity across the diverse population of older adults in society.So, what can we do to promote physical activity more effectively, and deliverprogrammes that can reach the wide range of older adults in our communities?..
