The KIFLI (Keeping Fit in Later Life) Project provides resources and materials to promote physical activity among people over 50. There is currently a lack of adequate materials that show people how to integrate physical activity into everyday life. The Project will develop a framework which encourages the physical activity of older people.

KIFLI is a two year European project (2010 to 2012), involving a partnership of 7 organisations across 6 countries. It is funded by the Grundtvig Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union.

KIFLI aims to respond to the challenges of an ageing society through:

Promoting increased activity among older people and providing them with a supporting framework with which to pursue physical fitness.
Offering realistic ways for promoting physical activities for older people.
Encouraging people over 50 to participate in physical activities.
Developing effective online training material that can be easily integrated into everyday life.
Developing common guidelines on training principles for older people.
Providing trainers and facilitators with appropriate training resources.

The aim is therefore to create a complex preventive package based on developing and distributing techniques of physical activity, based on the following results:

To produce guidelines on training principles for older people.
To develop online training materials; an online fitness test and downloadable training videos.
To develop a Web 2.0 platform where older people and trainers can access online information.
To produce a training handbook for professionals and trainers.
To provide “mobilities” in Europe for users and professionals.
To hold a Final Conference at the end of the project so that a wider audience can learn about the project.

This project ended with a final conference on 12 October 2012, in the context of the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations 2012.
