S05 Active ageing from theory to practice: success stories from Belgium, Finland, Germany and the Netherlands
Abstract Introduction Research increases our understanding on the efficacy of exercise and physical activity on older adults' health and well-being. However, the scientific output is relevant in experimental or clinical settings only and cannot be easily implemented in real-life setting. Consequently, the public health impact of the research output fails to be scaled-up for audiences and target groups at large. We therefore need more evidence on theory-to-practice approaches, in which physical activity interventions pay more attention to practical implementation. Aim The aim of this symposium... Mehr ...

Abstract Introduction Research increases our understanding on the efficacy of exercise and physical activity on older adults' health and well-being. However, the scientific output is relevant in experimental or clinical settings only and cannot be easily implemented in real-life setting. Consequently, the public health impact of the research output fails to be scaled-up for audiences and target groups at large. We therefore need more evidence on theory-to-practice approaches, in which physical activity interventions pay more attention to practical implementation. Aim The aim of this symposium is to describe successful examples on active ageing from research-to-practice. Examples are from 4 countries where different approaches are being used to improve adoption, implementation and maintenance physical activity among older people. Relevant scientific frameworks like RE-AIM and implementation science are utilized.
