This project will promote the health of older people by linking them with local physical activity resources and social support to encourage them to increase and sustain their levels of physical activity. This project uses an innovative approach to tackle one of the key behavioural risk factors for older people, namely physical inactivity, identified by the national ageing strategy. The intervention model will provide, for the first time, a sustainable local community vehicle for engaging and sustaining sedentary older people in physical activity. It is anticipated that the community will adopt the model once its efficacy is demonstrated.

该项目将促进老年人的健康，将他们与当地体育活动资源和社会支持联系起来，鼓励他们增加和保持体育活动水平。该项目采用一种创新办法，解决国家老龄化战略确定的老年人主要行为风险因素之一，即缺乏身体活动。干预模式将首次提供一个可持续的地方社区工具，以吸引和维持久坐不动的老年人参加体育活动。预期该模式一旦证实有效，社会将会采用。
