Strength · Confidence · Community
Active ageing is wider than exercise alone.Everyday function, physical confidence, social participation, family awareness and an appropriate environment can all influence how a person continues participating in life.
Following illness, stroke, disability or a prolonged period of inactivity, confidence may change alongside physical ability.Restarting should be realistic and appropriate to the person's circumstances.
