Abstract

Het eerste gesprek dat Ger Kroes had met Marijke Hopman, emeritus hoogleraar Ouderen en Bewegen, afgedrukt in Oudfit van december 2014, leverde zoveel stof dat het de moeite waard was om nog eens dieper door te vragen op opmerkelijke initiatieven en de ondervonden barriéres van Marijke en haar team en hoe Marijke tegen de toekomst aankijkt van ouderenonderzoek.

4. Health-related fitness of sedentary older adults in the Netherlands

Author

de Greef, M., Popkema, D, Kroes, G, Middel, E., and Rijksuniversiteit Groningen

Abstract

The assessment of fitness is a component of a national project aimed at the enhancement of physical avtivity among sedentary older adults, aged 55-65 year in the Netherlands. Deterioration in physical functioning may be improved through an exercise programme. Research showed that enhancement of physical activity results in improved fitness, increased functional ability and health-related quality of life. Scientific results of the association between exercise and physical fitness in older adults is not sufficiently evidence-based in the Netherlands. In order to support health policy interventions 5.584 fitness tests of sedentary older adults were analyzed. The fitness was assessed by the Groninger Fitnesstest for Elderly (GFE). The analysis of physical fitness in sedentary older adults showed a lower fitness status among the age group 55-65 of age and women. Health risk factors such as overweight and having a chronic disease explained 88% of the variance between a low fitness and a high fitness profile
