About Active Aging Today
Active Aging Today (AAT) is an online multimedia journal for practitioners and administrators who work with older adults. AAT focuses on physical activity and health but also addresses nutrition, mental health, social engagement, and spiritual well-being. Professionals, including activity leaders, fitness instructors, physical and occupational therapists, medical professionals, and program directors, will find practical information that will expand their knowledge base and invigorate their daily work. The articles in AAT report on issues relevant to those in the field, including effective physical activity programs, participant recruitment and involvement, application of research to daily practice, program options for people with diseases or disabilities, and policies and issues from around the world.
Each bimonthly issue includes these regular columns:
- Features presents in-depth pieces that cover a wide variety of topics of interest to practitioners.
- Reach shows how practitioners have recruited participants, instructors, and other professionals to be involved in exercise programs.
- Effectiveness highlights evidence-based programs that have been shown to work, whether in research settings or more large-scale applications.
- Face to Face offers interviews with practitioners, researchers, and older adults about what they do and how their programs operate.
- Special Populations presents programs designed to help people with diseases and disabilities and details special considerations of the population.
- Research to Practice explores how people have translated research into successful community practice.
- World Report discusses initiatives related to aging and physical activity around the globe.
AAT’s online format also allows for multimedia content, such as video and audio, which enhances the print content and allows subscribers to interact with the information in a variety of ways. Past articles have incorporated videos of successful programs in action and audio and video interviews with practitioners and participants. Many articles have also included supplemental information, such as sample exercise programs, that can be downloaded and shared with clients or colleagues.
