Fitness MOT and Information Fair for the over 60s

A Physiotherapist, Fitness Instructor or Postural Stability Instructor will take participants through seven tests of their exercise performance, when a ‘Functional Fitness M.O.T.’ event is held in Thame for a second year. (See LINK to last year’s event)

The Functional Fitness M.O.T. was developed by a partnership between Glasgow Caledonian University, the British Heart Foundation National Centre for Physical Activity and Later Life Training. Each test comes with a set of ‘normal values’ for people between 60 and 90 years-old and will give participants an idea of how they are doing compared to their peers, or whether they could benefit from being more active.

Participants have the opportunity to book an appointment, or can just turn up at Thame Town Hall on Friday, September 28, 2018.

There will be a list available of local activity opportunities to join in with, and some websites with more information and guidance.

Thame’s Functional Fitness team is also aiming to have stalls from the following organisations to give information and advice:

AGE UK Oxford including the Community Information Network
Thame Leisure Centre including GO ACTIVE
The British Heart Foundation
Diabetes UK
Dementia Oxfordshire
Occupational Therapy
