Physical inactivity costs the UK £7 billion each year and is responsible for 1 in every 6 deaths. Although a number of exercise programmes have aimed to address the global challenge of ageing and inactivity, there continues to be a shortage of successful programmes in real-world settings. When older adults become inactive, they lose their strength and become weak. Older adults who are weak are more likely to have a fall, become hospitalized, depressed, develop diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, and live in a care home much earlier than they should.Providing people with an exercise programme while they are still healthy, and before they shown signs of muscle weakness can prevent these devastating outcomes. Exercise referral as a routine part of healthcare and providing all adults the opportunity and benefits of participating in exercise will also help to reduce health inequalities in later life. Research shows that doctors don't feel confident discussing or referring exercise to their patients. While our research shows that older adults and exercise providers are unaware of exercise guidelines, the benefits of exercise participation, and where to turn to for support. Our mission is to connect older adults with the tailored exercise programs that are proven to lower the risk of disability and disease. Our platform will be an easy-to-use tool for doctors and exercise providers to support exercise awareness, knowledge, referral, and support while its use will lead to a happier, healthier, and more active population.

身体不活动每年耗资70亿英镑，每6人死亡中有1英镑。尽管许多锻炼计划旨在应对全球衰老和不活动的挑战，但在现实环境中仍然缺乏成功的计划。当老年人变得不活跃时，他们会失去力量并变得虚弱。弱者的老年人更有可能跌倒，住院，沮丧，患糖尿病，心血管疾病和癌症，并且居住在养老院中比应该早得多的。在他们仍然健康的同时，在他们表现出肌肉疲软的迹象之前，请先提供运动计划，以防止这些毁灭性的表现。运动转诊是医疗保健的常规部分，并为所有成年人提供参加运动的机会和好处，也将有助于减少以后生活中的健康不平等。研究表明，医生对讨论或参考患者的运动没有自信。尽管我们的研究表明，老年人和运动提供者不知道运动准则，运动的好处以及在哪里转向支持。我们的任务是将老年人与量身定制的运动计划联系起来，这些计划被证明降低了残疾和疾病的风险。我们的平台将是医生和运动提供者易于使用的工具，以支持运动意识，知识，推荐和支持，而其使用将导致幸福，更健康，更活跃的人口。
