Abstract | The Healthy Ageing Challenge aims for people to enjoy at least five extra healthy, independent years of life by 2035, while narrowing the gap between the experiences of the richest and poorest. Regular physical activity is important for healthy ageing, not only for maintaining health in midlife but also for maintaining health, independence and quality of life as people become older. Physical activity guidelines highlight the benefits and the importance of helping adults to adopt and maintain regular physical activity participation throughout the life course and not only in later life, and interventions and activities that support this aspiration are so important. We are delighted that this Special Issue features contributions that report both the impact and implementation of physical activity interventions for adults and older adults, as well as a range of studies on this topic |
