Description
Network on evidence-based physical activity in old age (PhysAgeNet)
The deliverable is a main outcome of the COST Action CA20104 - Network on evidence-based physical activity in old age (PhysAgeNet). The main aim and objective of the Action is to establish a sustainable network fostering evidence-based research and practice of physical activity in older adults and enhancing integration of innovative ICT solutions based on open data consolidated research information, in order to promote health and reduce the burden of inactivity in ageing populations.
Working Group 1 (WG1)
The purpose of WG1 is to establish research standards and tools for recruitment and sampling, data management, and reporting of interventional studies, based on standards from EBM. Therefor this workgroup aims to develop a toolbox with suggested guidelines, checklists and metadata for the integration of EBM. Consequently, WG1 will conduct systematic review(s), opinion papers, consensus reports and roadmaps on EBM for physical activity interventions.
The WG1 objectives can be structured in the following research coordination objectives:
1. RCO 4 Compile a database of literature references involving technology-assisted PA interventions, utilizing evidence levels and reach/generalisation according to EBM standards.
2. RCO 5 Assess status and needs, and provide a roadmap for adopting useful tools and stan- dards from EBM resources for technology-assisted PA interventions.
3. RCO 6 Develop a description tool for interventions based on EBM standards.
