6 What is Active Ageing? The overriding aim of Active Ageing is to reach out to new participants and give as many older people as possible the opportunity to experience enjoyable, appropriate and sustainable physical activities in a safe, friendly, supportive and fun atmosphere. Active Ageing Background In 2011, UK physical activity guidelines were published for older adults. These stated that: Older adults who participate in any amount of physical activity gain some health benefits, including maintenance of good physical and cognitive function. Some physical activity is better than none, and more physical activity provides greater health benefits. Older adults should aim to be active daily. Over a week, activity should add up to at least 150 minutes (2 1/2 hours) of moderate intensity activity in bouts of 10 minutes or more - one way to approach this is to do 30 minutes on at least 5 days a week. For those who are already regularly active at moderate intensity, comparable benefits can be achieved through 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity spread across the week or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity. Older adults should also undertake physical activity to improve muscle strength on at least two days a week. Older adults at risk of falls should incorporate physical activity to improve balance and coordination on at least two days a week. All older adults should minimise the amount of time spent being sedentary (sitting) to extended periods.
