Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: We will include community dwelling adults between 60 and 70 years of age. Only participants with ability to walk 500 metres without walking aids will be included.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria include cognitive impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MOCA *24 points) and self-reported cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and mental disease where exercise is contraindicated, any changes in health condition the past 6 months (stroke, cancer in need of treatment, severe neurological diseases that affect physical function, COPD (Gold 3 and 4), and heart failure (NYHA 3 and 4)). The target population of eLiFE is not the most fit of the young older adults. Excluded are therefore those who are attending organised exercise classes more than twice a week and/or those who are exercising more than 1 hour on their own each week.
