University of Southern Denmark in OdenseInternship in “Moving in old age – interdisciplinary approaches to thestudy of ageing”FactsCredits: 15 ECTS.Teaching semester: Fall/Winter 2023.BackgroundThe oldest population is rapidly increasing in numbers. This goes for a large number of Europeanand other developed countries, as well as for the least developed countries. According to themost recent projections the number of European older citizens (65+ years) will increase from 87million in 2010 to 148 million in 2060.Aging is associated with a progressive and generalized deterioration of physiological functionwhich progressively translates into functional impairment, increased rate of disability anddependency. Also, chronic diseases, including metabolic syndrome, sarcopenia, and cognitiveimpairment, are more prevalent with increasing age.From a public health perspective, the ageing societies represent one of the most seriouschallenges for the future economic sustainability of the health care systems. From theperspective of the single human being reaching older age may indeed be a very positive andenriching experience, but also a serious challenge which may turn into poor quality of life.Regular exercise and everyday physical activity have been consistently identified as essentialstrategies for controlling body weight, modifying the trajectories of physiologic decline, reducingthe risk of major chronic diseases and have been indicated as one of the key pillars supportingmedical treatments. Nevertheless, numerous challenges exist when promoting behavioralchanges at individual and population level, such as engaging in physical activity programs andreducing sedentariness.IP program: Moving in old age – interdisciplinary approaches to the study of agingThis IP course builds on the background information and scenarios describe above. The IPcombines a biological and a cultural-humanistic approach to the study of aging and movement.With respect to the aspect of human biology, the course looks at the normal physiological andfunctional changes induced by ageing, age-related diseases and the impact of regular exerciseand everyday physical activity as well as sedentary life-style. This part includes lab and field work(e.g. assessment of neuromuscular function, objective/subjective evaluation of everydayphysical activity, exercise prescription). From the side of humanities and social sciences, ageingis presented as a social and cultural process with the primary focus describing and makingunderstandable the cultural history, cultural anthropology, and cultural psychology of ageingand bodily movement. By combining these different approaches, the student is enabled to finda way among the current theories of activation, of disengagement and of older people as a socialresource.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••29
