Webinar: Staying active during COVID-19 restrictions
Being physically active can keep people of all ages and abilities healthy and connected. Lockdown has made it difficult for many people to stay active. We need to work together to support older people and those with disabilities to be active.
- how older Australians and those with physical disabilities are managing to stay active during COVID-19 restrictions,
- the benefits of being active for function and fall prevention,
- expert advice from health professionals and practical tips on getting more active now and when restrictions ease.
The event is hosted by the Institute for Musculoskeletal Health, a research partnership with the University of Sydney (USYD) and Sydney Local Health District (SLHD). The event is supported by the Centre of Research Excellence in the Prevention of Fall-related Injuries (CRE-PFI), Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), Older Persons Advocacy Network (OPAN), Safe Exercise at Home, and Disability Sports Australia (DSA).
