  Brock virtual panel to offer exercise advice for seniors during pandemic
  Friday, February 19, 2021 | by Colleen Patterson
  Brock University will hosts a virtual panel, Exercise and Older Adults – Staying Healthy as We Age, on Thursday, Feb. 25.
  Department of Kinesiology Professor Kimberley Gammage.
  "The scoping review Olivia conducted demonstrates there is not a lot out there online and not necessarily geared to older adults," says Gammage. "The assumption is that this age group is either not interested, able, willing or does not have technical capacity to participate."
  "Older adults may need more convincing, access to and training with technology, but virtual workouts are a legitimate way to stay active," says Gammage. "It's not the same socially as in person, but is certainly better than not having any option at all."
  The webinar is free and open to the public, but early registration is required to gain access. RSVP online and instructions for joining the event will provided.
