The aim of participating in the project is to improve performance and motor skills despite advancing age. The aim is also to enable the individual to better slow the effects of ageing through targeted training, so that they can, for example, carry out activities of daily living for longer and live in their own home for longer.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside participation in this health promotion project, participants are being sought for a scientific research study in the field of health. Dr Janus Gu\u00f0laugsson, PhD, sports and health scientist, is the principal investigator for the study and project.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/heilsueflingjanusfeb2022-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Health Promotion Janus Feb 2022\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2048px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2048\/1366;\"><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Comprehensive health promotion for 65+ in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur includes, among other things:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Strength training twice a week with a trainer's guidance<\/li>\n<li>1x weekly endurance training with a coach's guidance<\/li>\n<li>Regular lectures on health and well-being from experts<\/li>\n<li>Comprehensive health check every 6 months at Janus Health Promotion<\/li>\n<li>Electronic health articles and other information about a healthy lifestyle<\/li>\n<li>Access to a private Facebook group with information and insights.<\/li>\n<li>Access to the Janus health app and long-term training programmes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Application for participation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Everyone aged 65 or over can apply to take part in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.janusheilsuefling.is\/skraning\/\">https:\/\/www.janusheilsuefling.is\/skraning\/<\/a><br \/>Registered participants will be contacted.
