Results of the EUNAAPA project

The EUNAAPA project lead to the following results:

  1. Inventory of assessment instruments for physical activity and physical functioning in older people
  2. Best practice report on physical activity programmes and physical activity promotion strategies for older people
  3. Best practice report on implementation and dissemination
  4. End Conference of the EUNAAPA project
  5. Framework for the future EUNAAPA Network

 

Inventory of assessment instruments for physical activity and physical functioning in older people

One of the overall objectives of EUNAAPA, addressed by Work Package 4 (WP4), is to offer advice concerning the quality of the different ways of assessing physical activity and physical functioning in older people. The first step in this process was to give an overview of instruments currently used in Europe, which has been executed by means of the inventory presented in the EUNAAPA WP4 European Report . The second step will be critical reviews addressing the different areas of Physical Activity and Physical Functioning. The leader of WP4 is Karolinska Instutet, Stockholm, Sweden. This European report summarizes information regarding instruments currently used in the participating countries, received both from the combined data files as from the national reports.

All output concerning assessment instruments and WP4 you can find here.

Best practice report on physical activity programmes and physical activity promotion strategies for older people

The first stage of EUNAAPA work package No. 5 (Identify Existing Programmes for Physical Activity and Physical Activity Promotion for Older People) was to identify and describe, with the help of national experts, examples of physical activity (PA) programmes and PA promotion strategies for older people which were deemed to be ‘successful’. The second stage was to use systematic search methodology to compile an inventory of evidence-based, professional guidelines for the provision and/or promotion of safe and effective physical activity by older people.  The third stage was critically to compare the PA programmes and PA promotion strategies with the evidence-based best-practice guidelines and to formulate appropriate recommendations. 

 

Data were submitted to the leader of work package 5 (University of Edinburgh) for incorporation into this cross-national report.  The participating countries were Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and United Kingdom.

Best practice report on implementation and dissemination

The EUNAAPA's project work package no. 6 (Dissemination and Implementation of Physical Activity Programmes and Promotion Strategies for Older People) . This report first reviews some of the research conducted in the field of policy assessment and policy development for health promotion and then introduces the theoretical model and the methods employed. The results section is divided into a chapter on the phone survey and another on the national workshops. In both sessions, overall results are reported first, followed by a detailed analysis by nation. The report ends with a discussion of the results and some concluding remarks.

All output concerning Implemenation and Dissemination and WP6 you can find here.

End conference

In june 2008 the end conference of the EUNAAPA project was organised.

 

Framework for the future EUNAAPA network

The work in work package 7, securing the existence of EUNAAPA, had the goal of developing a framework for the future network. In three steps a framework was developed and approved by the Project members. Results are described in more detail here and have been published in a final report.
