The issue:There are currently more people over the age of 60 than ever before. The Office of National Statistics have projected that the number of people age 60 years and over will increase by 50% in the next 25 years. These demographic changes are important because people generally become less physically active as they grow older. This can be detrimental to their health and well-being and has subsequent health and social care costs. Researchers have been investigating the relationship between physical activity and health for a long time. Consequently, much is known about which diseases can be prevented through physical activity, and how much and how often activity should be undertaken. This information is useful, but it does not negate the fact that there are still lots of older people who are inactive. Recently, leading scientists have said that if we are to encourage people to integrate health behaviours like physical activity into their everyday life, conducting research to reconfirm that physical activity is beneficial is not enough. Instead, they say that we need to know more about the different environments, which can enable or deter physical activity in older age and shape how it is experienced. This includes people's physical environments (e.g. their access and proximity to woodlands, parks etc.) and also their social and cultural environments (e.g. the impact of their ethnicity, gender, interaction with healthcare etc.). Social scientists are well qualified to investigate issues like these. Our response:Our seminar series will bring together academics from different subject areas (e.g. sociology, psychology, geography, sport and health sciences), policy makers, health and social care practitioners, physical activity and sport providers, and those working within the voluntary and statutory sectors. Each seminar will focus on a specific issue relevant to the physical, social and cultural environments that can impact upon physical activity (PA) in older age. Specifically; (i)competitive sport in later life, (ii)physical activity during lifecourse transitions, (iii)how gender impacts upon physical activity involvement - and vice versa, (iv)experiences of physical activity amongst hard to reach groups (e.g. ethnic minorities), (v)community based initiatives to promote physical activity, (vi)E-health, (vii)PA in the outdoor natural environment, (viii)the process of using research to inform policy and practice.Leading experts from the UK and abroad will share their knowledge and direct discussions with seminar participants. This process will advance what we currently know about the topic and also identify aspects that we don't know about that require more research. It will also enable a large group of people (from research, policy and practice backgrounds) with a shared commitment to healthy ageing to establish themselves as a 'network'. The network members will continue to communicate and collaborate with each other both during and beyond the lifetime of the seminar series. Who will benefit and how:The seminar series is intended to have strong and distinctive impacts in academic, policy and user communities. This will be achieved by advancing understanding of (i)physical activity engagement in older age in ways that go beyond 'how much' and 'how often', (ii)the value of using different disciplines (i.e. subject areas) and research methods to generate knowledge about this topic. Policy contributions will be made regarding how best to promote healthy ageing, through physical activity involvement. Impact will also occur through the inclusion of older participants in the co-production of research knowledge, and in the training of early career researchers to continue championing this research area. Working closely with Core Partners (British Heart Foundation, Birmingham Public Health, Sporting Equals) will enhance the research teams understanding of the relationship between research and policy.

问题：目前60岁以上的人比以往任何时候都多。国家统计局预测，在未来25年内，60岁及以上的人口数量将增加50%。这些人口变化很重要，因为随着年龄的增长，人们通常会减少身体活动。这可能对他们的健康和福祉有害，并造成随后的医疗和社会保健费用。长期以来，研究人员一直在研究身体活动与健康之间的关系。因此，人们对哪些疾病可以通过体育活动来预防，以及应该进行多少活动和多久进行一次活动了解很多。这一信息是有用的，但它并不能否定仍然有许多老年人不活跃的事实。最近，领先的科学家表示，如果我们要鼓励人们将体育活动等健康行为融入日常生活，进行研究以重新确认体育活动是有益的是不够的。相反，他们说，我们需要更多地了解不同的环境，这些环境可以促进或阻止老年人的身体活动，并塑造其体验方式。这包括人们的物理环境（例如，他们进入和接近林地、公园等）。以及他们的社会和文化环境（例如，他们的种族、性别、与医疗保健的互动等的影响）。社会科学家很有资格调查这样的问题。我们的回应：我们的研讨会系列将汇集来自不同学科领域（例如社会学，心理学，地理学，体育和健康科学）的学者，政策制定者，健康和社会护理从业人员，体育活动和体育提供者，以及那些在志愿和法定部门工作的人。每个研讨会将集中在一个具体的问题有关的物理，社会和文化环境，可以影响身体活动（PA）在老年人。具体而言;（i）晚年的竞技体育，（ii）生命历程过渡期间的身体活动，（iii）性别如何影响身体活动参与-反之亦然，（iv）难以接触的群体中的身体活动经历（例如少数民族），（v）以社区为基础的促进体育活动的举措，（vi）电子健康，（vii）户外自然环境中的PA，（viii）利用研究为政策和实践提供信息的过程。来自英国和国外的领先专家将与研讨会参与者分享他们的知识和直接讨论。这一过程将推进我们目前对该主题的了解，并确定我们不知道的需要更多研究的方面。它还将使一大批共同致力于健康老龄化的人（来自研究、政策和实践背景）建立一个“网络”。网络成员将在系列研讨会期间和之后继续相互交流和合作。谁将受益以及如何受益：该系列研讨会旨在对学术界、政策界和用户群体产生强大而独特的影响。这将通过以下方式实现：（一）以超越“多少”和“多久”的方式参与老年人的体育活动，（二）使用不同学科（即学科领域）和研究方法的价值，以产生有关这一主题的知识。将在如何通过参与体育活动以最佳方式促进健康老龄化方面作出政策贡献。影响还将通过将老年参与者纳入研究知识的共同制作以及培训早期职业研究人员继续支持这一研究领域而产生。与核心合作伙伴（英国心脏基金会，伯明翰公共卫生，体育平等）密切合作，将提高研究团队对研究与政策之间关系的理解。
