The Avon Network for the Promotion of Active Ageing in the Community

规律的体力活动对老年人的身心健康都有影响。它有助于预防重大疾病，降低抑郁和痴呆症的风险，是社交和独立生活的重要组成部分。然而，鼓励和帮助老年人增加日常活动的最佳方式还没有得到很好的理解。拟议的雅芳促进社区积极老龄化网络的目的是建立一个论坛，分享关于促进老年人体育活动的信息。这将包括老年人本身以及基于大学的研究人员、卫生服务提供者和休闲活动提供者。这些？关键利益相关者？将为居住在社区的老年人制定体力活动方案的建议。他们还将为今后的研究制定建议，以进一步制定和评估这类方案。拟议网络的活动如下：-1.我们将举行一系列会议，让所有主要利益攸关方以及特邀演讲者参加。我们将从现有的对70岁或70岁以上人群的研究中收集证据。这将旨在找出所有影响人们的影响？S体育活动，并包括当地居民的意见。我们还将查看和总结评估现有计划促进体力活动的有效性的研究。3.我们将重新审查现有研究和当地服务提供评估的数据，这可能有助于为我们提供建议，说明哪些措施可能会促进老年人的体力活动。4.通过合作，利益相关者将通过查看有多少证据支持使用这些方法来比较促进身体活动的不同方法。他们还将评估它们在当地使用的可行性。我们将设立小组讨论，征求来自不同社区和社区的老年人对我们确定的促进体育活动的不同方法的意见。6.我们会综合上述活动的结果，提出一系列方案和建议，以推广长者的体力活动。拟申请的申请人和合作者在这方面的研究和服务表现良好，有能力成功达致这项建议的目标。

Regular physical activity affects both physical and mental health in older people. It helps to prevent major diseases, reduces the risk of depression and dementia and is a important for social contact and independent living. However, the best ways to encourage and help older people to increase their daily activity are not well understood. The aim of the proposed Avon Network for the Promotion of Active Ageing in the Community is to develop a forum for sharing information on the promotion of physical activity in older people. This will include older people themselves as well as university-based researchers, health service providers and leisure activity providers. These ?key stakeholders? will develop recommendations for physical activity programmes for older people living in the community. They will also develop proposals for future research to further develop and evaluate such programmes. The activities of the proposed network will be as follows:-1. We will hold a series of meetings involving all the key stakeholders as well as invited speakers.2. We will draw together evidence from existing research on people aged 70 or over. This will aim to identify all the influences that affect people?s physical activity and include the views of local residents. We will also look at and summarise research which assesses the effectiveness of existing programmes to promote physical activity. 3. We will re-examine data from existing research studies and local service delivery evaluations where this might help to inform our recommendations on what might work to promote physical activity in older people. 4. Working together, the stakeholders will compare different approaches to promoting physical activity by looking at how much evidence there is to support their use. They will also assess how practical they are likely to be for local use.5. We will set up group discussions to ask for the views of older people from different neighbourhoods and communities about the different approaches we identify for promoting physical activity. 6. We will draw together the results of the above activities to produce a series of options and recommendations for promoting physical activity in older people.The proposed applicants and collaborators have an excellent track record of research and service delivery in this area and are well placed to successfully achieve the aims of this proposal.
