About

The general objective of the Chair is to promote healthy aging through exercise practices adapted to the needs of older adults, particularly with respect to their health condition. More specifically, the Chair supports scientifically innovative research programs that aim to refine exercise recommendations and develop effective kinesiology interventions. The Chair also supports the training of highly qualified personnel to ensure the continuity and expansion of research in this field. This new generation of researchers will also be able to invest in the clinical environment to offer precision interventions, based on scientific evidence, in support of healthy aging for future generations of seniors. Finally, the Chair's mandate is to ensure the mobilization of the fruits of research towards users (health professionals, general public), notably through the Chairholders' privileged link with the clinical environment.
