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.

加拿大已经开始了许多有效的计划和伙伴关系，支持体育活动， 在所有社区的日常生活中占很大一部分。为了应对世界范围内的人口老龄化， 改善人口，特别是老年人的健康和生活质量。果然 有令人信服的科学证据表明，定期的身体活动可以改善健康和生活质量， 慢性病、残疾和过早死亡的风险。尽管有科学证据， 经常参加体育活动的人仍然很少，主要是老年人。为了解决这个 关于趋势，游乐场设备制造商生产的户外健身设备， 性能比目前在商业室内健身中心发现的设备，从生物机械 立场观点在这个项目中，户外健身运动系统公司。正在寻求NSCC的支持， 产品，一个户外有氧健身登山者与性能接近室内版本，可以在 无人监管的环境这一设备将有可能有助于积极和预防 维持人群健康的因素，包括生理、心理和认知益处。
