I found out that many senior citizens shun from group activities due to the misconception, and sometimes reality, of them being to strenuous.
Most elderly people would have retired and would have little to do at home. Some of them want to engage in a new activity to pass time but it is sometimes difficult to due to lack of strength and stamina or limited knowledge. With so much time and nothing to do, the person can find life boring and depressing. Hence, we should plan more activities specially catered for the elderly. These activities should not be too strenuous and the schedule for such events should not be so hectic. The activities should not involve vigorous physical involvement such as competitive swimming and should be carried out at a smooth and comfortable pace.
