Abstract

Ageing does not necessarily have to be synonymous with loneliness. However, the risk of social isolation increases with age. Looking for new interests, social opportunities in which to make new friendships, helps to get out of this context, and feel alive. Enormous progress has been made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the most common causes of death. Many of these causes are related to a rapid decay not only physical, but especially psychological, especially with advancing age and the onset of diseases due to lack of an adequate lifestyle in nutrition and physical activity. The contribution aims to promote a better understanding of how motor activity in the open air can aim at maintaining an active life and slow down cognitive decline. The goal is to create an industrial product that can encourage the adoption of an active lifestyle, through the use of devices, technologically advanced, but inclusive, simple and accessible in their use to support the movement and health of older people. The activities that can be carried out, transformed into a form of play, will lead to a greater commitment to exercise, stimulating healthy competition, more than towards others, towards oneself to measure the progress achieved by playful activity. Biofeedback will allow, through the collection of objectives, results and intuitive graphics, to obtain a rapid response of progress in real time.
