Helping Seniors Stay Fit and on Their Feet

Today, one in five Singaporeans is above the age of 65. And the number is set to rise rapidly. The challenge for Singapore is how we keep our elderly healthy and fit. Our Nursing and Sport & Wellness Management students from SHS and SBM embarked on a study to find ways to do so. SG Enable initiated the project, which involved 25 seniors from the SilverACE Senior Activity Center at Lengkok Bahru. The 12-week field research conducted by our students recently concluded at the Inclusive Gym at the Enabling Village. Data from the study showed that the elderly participants experienced positive outcomes, with many expressing an interest to continue the exercise programme on their own.
