Improved wellbeing of older adults: Enhancing the wellbeing of older adults also has positive ripple effects on their families and communities. As older individuals become healthier and more self-reliant, they require less support from relatives and caregivers, allowing relationships to shift from care-based interactions to more meaningful personal connections.
Economic Impact
Reduced pressure on healthcare systems: Lower demand for care services can ease the burden on national healthcare systems and contribute to reduced healthcare costs, while improving overall wellbeing.
Enhanced economic performance through innovative services: Organisations and initiatives focused on physical activity for older adults can develop new, person-centred services. This enables them to offer more tailored and effective solutions, improving both service quality and market opportunities.
Academic Impact
Strengthened research capacity: Project partners can contribute to defining new research priorities, reducing duplication of efforts, and enhancing collaboration across disciplines. The exchange of knowledge and support for joint initiatives can accelerate scientific excellence and innovation.
Policy Impact
Stronger evidence-based policymaking: Policies grounded in the real needs and experiences of target groups are more likely to be adopted, implemented, and accepted effectively.
