Physical activity in later life is often promoted for its potential physical, psychological and social benefits for older adults. However, sometimes these programmes, despite good intentions, can perpetuate negative stereotypes about ageing and youthful ideas about good life. Have we forgot to ask old people themselves how and why they are (not) active? As our guest explains, ageing is not only a physical and psychological phenomenon, but also a cultural phenomenon. Cultural narratives including ageing-as-decline, successful ageing and active ageing can have significant consequences on how we make meaning of later life.In this episode, we ask critical questions about what is ageing, who is an older person, and what implications different physical activity campaigns for older adults might have.Dr Adam Evans is currently an Associate Professor in Sociology of Sport at the Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sport (NEXS) at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is the current director of the Sport, Health and Innovation research group at NEXS, and is Editor in Chief of the European Journal for Sport and Society (www.tandfonline.com/toc/ress20/current). His research interests cohere around understanding the lived experiences of sport, physical activity amongst several groups, including older adults and those with specific health needs, together with work in swimming and aquatic activity.

Someone may have obesity, but they're not obese. This episode is a lesson in language, understanding and mindset. Discover why you should be thinking about more than just getting back to normal after coronavirus; what the next big opportunity is for health and fitness and why most business will miss it, and why the fitness industry has not been delivering on its promises. A writer, consultant, presenter and billed as one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness, Dr Michael Mantell has been at the forefront of wellbeing for over four decades.

For more information visit https://www.plussizecertified.org/   Episode highlights: The real actionable points to overcoming low frustration tolerances to the COVID climate, and how you can free yourself from negative thoughts to get through it. Understand your own self worth through physical, emotional, mental and spiritual capacity and how you can embrace your life as a corporate athlete or just grow to be a better person and grow. The difference between training and coaching, and which is more beneficial to growth and understanding in wellbeing. Why it's better to say that people have obesity, rather than that people are obese. Diet and exercise doesn't work on its own. We have to work on what people think. How there is no such thing as motivation and why progress is more about taking away the blocks to progress. Why the term “personal trainer” diminishes the experience and knowledge that most fitness professionals have, and what the better alternative is. Why it's important to be inclusive of everyone, especially in healthcare facilities and gyms, to remove bias and stigma so that a facility is inviting people in instead of making them feel unwelcome. What would happen if gyms became the aftercare centres for surgeries, and how this would truly embrace fitness as both recovery and prevention for long term conditions. Why someone can have obesity and be fit, or conversely be thin and by unfit. How a healthy lifestyle and self acceptance is much more important. What you can do as a fitness professional in order to promote holistic healthcare and really make a difference on a local level through the experience in yourself / your staff at your facility or in your business. How to create these integrated healthcare opportunities for yourself in order to create a real preventative approach. If you want to know why more effective long-term healthcare initiatives have not been put in place, follow the money. Cure is more lucrative for governments than prevention. We have to work as an industry to change this for as many people as possible. What will bring success from gym leaders thinking in the long term and how clubs can become more fully-functioning to touch the lives of more people. Why the next version of the gym is going to be about education and training, socialisation, camaraderie, preventative health and no longer just about lifting weights. How faith is anchored in trust and hope, and why this can lead you to a life of no limits.   Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with Dr Michael Mantell…

I see Pilates as an essential part of the healing process and health care where there are gaps between hospital procedures such as hip replacement, rehab and prehab where people often are not supported in a crucial time. The benefit to older adults also is incredible in terms of fall prevention, building bone density and safe exercise.The human contact offers so much more in terms of health and wellbeing. The social aspect of doing a Pilates class and the endorphins released when exercising keeps people young. This is a key ingredient for mental health and keeping depression at bay as we age. I love how Pilates can assist with neuroplasticity, and confidence. I can really see the benefits of keeping the mind supple with some particular clients. By gradually introducing new movement experiences, new neural pathways are triggered and this helps with keeping the mind working as well as the muscles. This type of neuroplasticity is essential to keep the ageing process at bay. It is imperative to keep your Active Ageing programs changing and challenging to improve the mind as well as the body. Explore new ideas for exercises to keep the mind stimulated and supple. If we can keep our Active Ageing friends, family and clients from falling and hospitalisation from injury related falls, then the world will be a better and happier place. Pilates can help with functional movement, improve reaction time, and assist with falls prevention.

The pod is one person down, as Sara is off in Malawi on her monitoring and evaluation trip. However, she has made time to phone in and give us an update on her work so far. Next we hear from Colin Milner, CEO and Founder of the International Council on Active Ageing. ICAA's mission is to promote Active Aging as a solution to improving the quality of life for older adult. We speak to Colin about the missed opportunity of not properly segmenting the older people audience, how physical activity can ensure older people are engaged in life and some good practice examples from around the globe. You can follow Colin on twitter here - @colinmilner. Then we hear from Tony Jameson-Allen, CEO and Founder of Sporting Memories. This is a UK based initiative to encourage older people especially those living with dementia to use sport as a tool for reminiscence. The sessions also now include physical activity as well. We discuss with Tony some of the challenges of measuring progress, how the sessions work and also the efforts to increase knowledge and understanding of how to ensure events are dementia friendly. We would also like to congratulate Sporting Memories for being shortlisted for the Sports Journalist Associations 'Sport for Social Change' award. You can follow Tony on twitter here - @tja_evonet Lee and Dave then discuss their views on the interviews and their experience in this field. Clearly, there's a huge opportunity with an inactive population, but also a population that has many demographic subsets that require an analytical approach. Potentially, it's not quite as glamorous as working with children, but there are huge benefits of sport and development to both the individuals and easing the strain on health and social care systems. Finally, we would love to hear from projects who are working with groups of older adults. How do you attract different groups, how do you maintain participation and what hints and tips do you have? Please get in touch via the usual ways below: Twitter - @goodsportscast Instagram @goodsportscast Email - info@goodsportcast.org.uk Lee is off on a couple of very exciting sports and development projects in Jordan and Nepal so our schedule might be a bit erratic in the lead up to Christmas, but we will be bringing you updates from the field soon. As always thanks for listening!

The Danish Choir “Gangstativerne”, singing at a conference launching the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity Between Generations in 2012. DG EMPL/ flickr, CC BY-NCDue to advances in medicine, hygiene and nutrition we are now living longer than ever before. In our region, the percentage of people over the age of 60 doubled in just 20 years - something that took 120 years in Europe and the United States. And while there are definitely losses as we age – fine motor skills and a higher probability of conditions like dementia – there’s evidence that for many people brain development continues healthily into their eighties. So how do we leverage the knowledge and social capital that older people accrue over their lives and help them to feel engaged, supported and energised during what has traditionally been characterised as a time of decline? The University of Melbourne’s Will Isdale spoke with Nancy Pachana, Professor of Clinical Geropsychology at the University of Queensland and author of the book Ageing: A Very Short Introduction, about what we can do to plan for a healthy, engaged senior population.
