Official closing of the Erasmus+ project "BeMW – Be More Wise"
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the conference and official closing of the Erasmus+ project "BeMW – Be More Wise", which will take place on 29.11.2024 from 11:00 AM at the AWF Katowice.
Our seniors also took functional tests
The FULLERTON TEST (Senior Fitness Test) is recommended by the International Council of Sports Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE - CIEPSS) as exceptionally useful in the multidimensional assessment of physical fitness in older people (over 60 years of age). It allows you to observe the gradual decline in fitness with age. Assesses tolerance, strength and flexibility of the upper and lower body, as well as agility and balance. It consists of six tasks.
Time for summaries
After completing the training period and repeating the cognitive and fitness tests, it was time for summaries. Ph.D. Izabela Zając-Gawlak and her team created a database that will be subject to detailed analysis. The research results and the differences or lack thereof resulting from them will be taken under the microscope.
Training and after training
Our seniors have completed their 12-week training plan. For 3 months, the participants met once a week at the UTW at the Palacký University in the Czech Republic (Czech group) and at the UTW Łazy (Polish group).
12-week training - what is this all about?
For 12 weeks, seniors will participate once a week in juggling classes conducted at their home Universities of the Third Age. The classes will be conducted by persons designated from among the staff involved in the project (teachers of the University of Physical Education in Katowice and the Faculty of Physical Culture at the Palacký University in Olomouc).

We invite you to watch the report from the workshops in Olomouc. Oh, there was a lot going on! Research, tests, juggling, planning, sightseeing and of course a lot of fun!
