The primary aim of the EdJCO project is to structure an evidence- and eminence-base e-learning multi-lingual educational programme specifically tailored for judo coaches of older individuals.
Summary
Older individuals who train are considered an ideal model for successful aging.
To structure sound training programmes for older individuals, coaches need a multi-dimensional knowledge of physiological (body composition, skeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and endocrine functions), pathological (incidence of multiple chronic diseases), psychological (body image, motivation, enjoyment, perception of efforts), and performance (functional fitness, falling skills) aspects of aging.
The primary aim of the EdJCO project is to structure an evidence- and eminence-base e-learning multi-lingual educational programme specifically tailored for judo coaches of older individuals, thus contributing to the European policies on health-enhancing physical activity and the recent Minimum Requirements in Skills and Competencies for Coaches.
The project consortia created online content that is available here.
