Abstract
The aging population is growing. Physical activity is important to prevent and manage health concerns in older adults and the field of gerokinesiology is expanding. Gerokinesiology is a specialized area of study within the larger discipline of kinesiology that focuses on understanding how physical activity influences all aspects of health and well-being in the older adult population and the aging process in general. The purpose of this team project is to encourage students to have a solid grasp of the essential knowledge and skills for designing and implementing an effective physical activity program that addresses the needs and interests of older adults with or without special conditions.
