Physical activities for older adults using digital technologies (2024)Aalborg University, Doctoral School in Medicine, Biomedical Science and TechnologyWelcome to Physical activities for older adults using digital technologies Programs: HES (BEP, CPM) ***Face to face and online lectures***
This PhD course will take its asset to one of the main challenges that western countries have to face: The ageing of the society. Ageing is associated with physiological deterioration of the cardio-vascular, pulmonary, and musculoskeletal systems. The focus of the course will be on the digital technologies applied in laboratory- and home-based approaches that can be used to maintain or improve the level of activity of older adults. Aspects related to technology readiness level will be approached. The detailed agenda of the course will be provided on the course web site. Main topics will include lung function, balance, biomechanics, motor coordination, digital technologies. Literature: Prerequisites: Basic knowledge on anatomy, physiology and technology is desirable. Evaluation: A multiple-choice test will be used to evaluate the student’s outcome of the course.
