AgeWell Europe – an 8-week multimodal exercise and health education programme

A free online and on-demand 8-week multimodal exercise and health education programme for men and women aged 40-80 years across Europe.

We’re absolutely thrilled to share ‘AgeWell Europe’ – a free online and on-demand 8-week multimodal exercise and health education programme for men and women aged 40-80 years across Europe.

AgeWell Europe is funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ programme as a KA2 cooperation project, awarded and supported in Ireland by Leargás. AgeWell Europe is a collaboration of multidisciplinary experts from EduFIT (Ireland), Anitech Solutions (Ireland), Universität Münster (Germany), Institut “Jožef Stefan” (Slovenia), and Istituto per Servizi di Ricovero ed Assistenza agli Anziani (ISRAA, Italy). This includes clinical and/or exercise physiologists, a registered associate nutritionist, sports scientists, kinesiologists, clinical and community psychologists, sport and movement gerontology specialists, researchers, experienced exercise instructors, and technology and website developers. 

AgeWell Europe is available in English, German, Slovene and Italian. 

The programme is completely free, and users have access to:

  • A total of 16 * 25-30-minute evidence-based multimodal exercise (each class contains aerobic, strength, flexibility and balance exercises) classes. These are suitable for adults aged 40-80 years of all functional abilities (beginner, intermediate and advanced levels and chair-based options available) and for those living with one or more clinical conditions.
  • A total of 10 * 10-30-minute evidence-based health education workshops on topics such as nutrition for healthy ageing, arthritis, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, mindfulness and more! 

Engaging in this 8-week programme will help to improve aerobic fitness, muscle strength and endurance (upper- and lower-body), balance, mobility, flexibility, cardiometabolic health, wellbeing, physical self-efficacy, and physical activity participation.

We are currently working on publishing both qualitative and quantitative research findings from the programme’s implementation across four countries (Ireland, Italy, Germany and Slovenia), and we look forward to sharing those insights with you soon.

Please share this AgeWell Europe programme with anyone you feel would benefit across Europe. Thank you!
