The "Silver Fit" project was presented to promote physical activity in the over 65s

Building a culture of movement capable of accompanying people even into adulthood, guaranteeing active aging, preserving self-sufficiency and improving the quality of life. The "Silver Fit - Prevention in movement" project, promoted by the Italian Sports Center at a national level and adaptable across the territories, was presented in the Chamber of Parliamentary Groups of the Chamber of Deputies.

"Involving older women and men in physical activity courses does not have the sole purpose of counteracting the aging of the population. But it is also a precious antidote to loneliness", underlines Anna Ascani, vice president of the Chamber during the conference. Mauro Berruto, national sports manager of the PD, underlines that "that of movement culture is a theme that concerns the whole country, a theme of welfare and social policies. Sport is the instrument of inclusion par excellence, the future is that of grandparents and grandchildren who play sport together. I believe that sports clubs will have to start imagining projects that go in that direction".

A national initiative, that of the CSI, which is aimed at men and women over 65 by promoting qualified physical activity, scientific monitoring and integrated well-being. "We live in a time where even adults need movement and to experience moments together. And this project responds to these needs, I believe it will be a great success", concludes Vittorio Bosio, national president of the CSI.
