There are no rules or age limits to physical activity. Irrespective of how old you are or how often you have
exercised in the past, there is no time like the present to start regular physical activity.
There are many health and lifestyle benefits of physical activity for older adults. People
with an active lifestyle feel healthier and have an improved sense of wellbeing.
Benefits can include reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, colon cancer and diabetes.
Activity does not need to be strenuous to achieve health benefits. This workshop
explores types of suitable exercises, physiological changes that occur with ageing
along with simple programs and strategies for keeping active.

Strength and conditioning should form an integral part of
any athlete’s development and includes speed, agility,
endurance, strength, stability, flexibility, injury prevention,
management and rehabilitation. Each athlete's program
may be individually tailored to meet their specific needs.
This workshop provides a basic level of information for
those working at the beginner coaching level to aid in the
application and design of strength and conditioning
programs. Topics covered include basic weightlifting and
body weight exercise techniques, core strength training,
program structure, integrating strength and conditioning
with skill training as well as developmental and agerelated
considerations for young athletes. The workshop
is suitable for coaches, athletes, teachers and other
athlete support volunteers who are keen to help improve
the performance of their athletes.
