Canada has the beginnings of many effective programs and partnerships that support physical activity as a greater part of daily life in all communities. In response to worldwide aging population, efforts have attempted to improve the health and quality of life of the population, particularly in the older adults group. Indeed, there is compelling scientific evidence that regular physical activity improves health and quality of life and reduces the risk of chronic diseases, disability and premature death. Despite scientific evidence, the number of people participating regularly in physical activities remains low, mostly in the older adults group. To address this concerning trend, playground equipment manufacturers produce outdoor fitness equipment with by far lower performance than equipment currently found in commercial indoor fitness centers, from a bio-mechanical standpoint. In this project, Outdoor Fit Exercise Systems Inc. is seeking NSCC's support to design a new product, an outdoor cardio fitness climber with performance closer to the indoor versions and that can work in an unsupervised environment. This equipment will have the potential to contribute both positive and preventive factors for maintaining health in the population including physiology, psychology and cognitive benefits.

加拿大拥有许多有效计划和伙伴关系的开始，这些计划和合作伙伴关系支持体育活动 所有社区的日常生活中大部分。为了回应全球老龄化的人口，已尝试的努力 为了改善人口的健康和生活质量，特别是在老年人群体中。确实，那里 有力的科学证据表明，定期体育锻炼可以改善健康和生活质量并减少 慢性疾病，残疾和过早死亡的风险。尽管有科学的证据，但人数 定期参加体育活动仍然很低，主要是在老年人组中。解决这个问题 关于趋势，游乐场设备制造商生产户外健身设备，远低于 性能比在商业室内健身中心发现的设备，来自生物力学 立场。在这个项目中，户外锻炼系统公司正在寻求NSCC的支持来设计新的 产品，室外有氧运动登山者，性能更接近室内版本，可以在 一个无监督的环境。该设备有可能贡献积极和预防 维持人口健康的因素，包括生理，心理学和认知益处。
