International Coalition for Aging and Physical Activity (ICAPA)


The International Coalition for Aging and Physical Activity (ICAPA) is an international not-for-profit group of researchers and practitioners that promotes the study of active aging; the enhanced delivery of services to older adults; and the collection, dissemination, and discussion of information to help professionals further their work. Active aging is the process of leading an active life in order to optimize health, happiness, and autonomy as people age.

 

ICAPA serves as a liaison between regional, national, and international professional groups with an interest in activity and aging. It also bolsters the work of researchers and practitioners in the active aging field by participating in the Active Aging Community Center (AACC) Web site, which facilitates the sharing and discussion of active aging issues. ICAPA will also organize a World Congress on Active Aging approximately every four years. The next Congress will be held in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2012.
