Abstract

The project “Health is in the Movement” was created in 1989 in the city of Verona as a first attempt to define a model of health promotion through exercise in the elderly. The project was subsequently developed among an increasing number of towns in the provinces of Verona and Trento and at present involves more than 5000 individuals aged ≥ 60. Health is in the Movement is a wide plan structured in different actions which are targeted to all old people (healthy, sick, frail) living in communities as well as in nursing homes. Its specificities are in the characterization of physical activity as a tool for health and in the close and synergic relationship among the main components enrolled in the programming: clients, health and exercise experts and officials.
