THE PROCESS OF ORGANIZING HEALTH-IMPROVING ACTIVITIES FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE
Main Article Content
Abstract
The rapid aging of the global population has increased the relevance of developing effective health-improving activities for elderly people. Maintaining physical, psychological, and social well-being in later life is considered one of the key priorities of modern public health and social policy. Health-improving activities for elderly individuals are aimed at preserving functional abilities, preventing chronic diseases, enhancing emotional stability, and promoting active aging. The organization of such activities requires a comprehensive and individualized approach that takes into account age-related physiological changes, psychological characteristics, and social needs of older adults. This article analyzes the process of organizing health-improving activities for elderly people, focusing on the principles of accessibility, safety, continuity, and adaptability. Special attention is given to the role of moderate physical exercises, relaxation techniques, breathing practices, and social interaction in improving quality of life. The article emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation between psychologists, physical therapists, medical professionals, and social workers in designing and implementing effective wellness programs. The findings suggest that properly organized health-improving activities contribute significantly to prolonging active longevity, strengthening mental health, and fostering social inclusion among elderly people.
