The problem that innovation answers
The innovation responds to the problem of low levels of physical activity among older people and people with limited physical abilities. Only 25% of people aged 60 and over are physically active in any way according to the 'Information on the situation of older people in Poland' published for the year 2018 by the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy. One of the reasons for this is the poor offer of professional services (services dedicated to a specific group of recipients, carried out by a person who knows both the subject and the specifics of the recipients) - mainly Nordic walking, yoga, water exercises, exercises for a healthy spine. 99% of the time, Sports Clubs do not have an offer for specific audiences, e.g. older people and people with lower fitness levels.
How does innovation work?
The innovation developed a manual to guide sports clubs through the process of implementing walking football for seniors with reduced mobility and/or perception. The manual introduces the user step-by-step to the process of organising and conducting walking football training groups. The developed solution will allow walking football to realise its potential as a tool for social integration of seniors with disabilities.
