Why is Fit as a Fiddle Needed
The older you are the less you participate.(A vision for 2020, Sport England 2004)
Among people older than 65, 12% cannot manage walking outside on their own and 9% cannot manage the stairs unaided.25% of women and 7 % of men do not have sufficient leg strength to get out of a chair without using their arms.20% of women and 14% of men over 50 do not have the flexibility to wash their hair comfortably.
(Skelton et al 1998)
