Sport as a tool for successful rehabilitation of seniors
The main objective of the project is to motivate seniors with disabilities 60 + after rehabilitation or treatment to perform sports exercises regularly, taking into account their condition (physical and mental) by creating sport exercises to maintain mobility and health. The project will focus on the building up of an appropriate training course of volunteers for non-medical students, who will help the elderly with the right performance of sports exercises and motivate them for daily exercises.
