Importantly, the ‘Report' indicated that the process of aging is more malleable than has been generally appreciated and that the mechanisms governing health in old age are processes that are ongoing throughout the lives of individuals (House of Lords, 2005). In reference to the implications of this examination, the ‘Report' summarized what appears to be a consensus view regarding the key factors promoting good health as well as slowing down the ageing process as (House of Lords, 2005):
physical activity;
having a social role and function;
good nutrition;
absence of risk factors such as smoking and drinking to excess; and
good mental health and well-being
The ‘Report' stressed that physical activity represents a ‘key' facet of good health and is the major modifiable influence on health in old age (House of Lords, 2005). In making such a statement the ‘Report' referred to ‘The Royal Society of Edinburgh' which stated that exercise has been shown as being a critical factor in maintaining as well as modestly increasing bone density of adults, and more importantly can aid in the minimization of bone loss in older individuals (House of Lords, 2005). The overall ‘Report' on Aging: Scientific Aspects provided key background information that proved helpful, with regard to general information, and indispensable with regard to demographic groups, exercise, and the government's recognition of the importance of the issue as well as the specific and key identification of key points.
With regard to sport, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (2007a) aims to encourage wider sports participation, and in regard to the focus of this examination, to promote sport at the grassroots level, which has implications concerning facilities that the older generation either has available, and or needs (Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 2007b). In its Report Where are we Now: The State of Sport Today, it clarifies that the government does not run sport, but recognizes it as an important factor in the health, and well being of children, adults, and the older generation (Department for Culture, Media and Sport, 2007b).
