Sponsors
Interne geneeskunde, sectie ouderengeneeskunde
Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 99 Years
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. The target population of aLiFE 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 4 hours on their own each week.
