The ageing of our population is a key societal issue across the
globe. Although people are living longer, they need to be living
longer in good health to continue to enjoy quality of life and
independence and to prevent rises in health and social care costs.
This timely and ground-breaking volume will provide an up-to-date
overview of the factors that promote physical activity in later
life. Despite advances in the fields of gerontology and geriatrics,
sports and exercise science, sociology, health psychology, and
public health, knowledge is largely contained within disciplines as
reflected in the current provision of academic texts on this
subject. To truly address the present and substantial societal
challenges of population ageing, a multidisciplinary and
collaborative approach is required. This handbook will inform
researchers, students, and practitioners on the current evidence
base for what physical activities need to be promoted among older
people and how they can be implemented to maximise engagement. This
handbook will be an invaluable resource for researchers,
practitioners, policy makers, and students across the social
sciences.
