Abstract

Healthy aging and physical activity practice: The missing link Isabelle J. Dionne, PhD, Professor, Université de Sherbrooke, walks us through physical activity practice and how it impacts research on healthy aging. Major public health agencies around the world urge the older population to get on the move while cities and states invest more and more in safe and attractive infrastructures and programs. Nonetheless, physical activity (PA) levels of aging adults remain low in most developed societies. It appears that the healthcare systems and the general public do not take advantage of the skills and competencies of qualified PA professionals trained in universities around the globe to support evidence- based physical activity practice and healthy aging. This weakest link needs reinforcement.
