Description

Coordinated by UIRFIDE and financed by the GESMED Foundation, the agreement signed throughout the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years has allowed the development and consolidation of three main lines of Research-Action: 

GESMED MARCHA analyses the impact of combining Nordic walking, inspiratory and functional training [EFAM-UV©], on the quality of life and physical and psychosocial health of the elderly.

GESMED COMPAÑÍA involves sending CAFyD to the homes of elderly people with reduced mobility, limited economic resources and risk of unwanted loneliness and/or dependence in order to halt the advance of these destructive processes in our elderly.

GESMED ACTIU consolidates the implementation of physical exercise programmes by medical referral in the Primary Care and Hospital environment.

The agreement is being implemented in the CLÍNICO-MALVARROSA Health Area, in collaboration with the INCLIVA Research Group on ageing, and has the support of the Ethics Committee of the aforementioned Hospital. 

The training programmes for elderly people are possible thanks to the three-way agreement between the Gesmed Foundation, the COLEF-CV (Association of Graduates in Physical Education / Physical Activity and Sport Sciences of the Valencian Community) and the Universitat de València (UIRFIDE GIUV Group 2013-140).
