PhysAgeNet Deliverable D2.3: Open data framework including PA intervention and multiple data sources and biomarkers

COST Action CA20104NETWORK ON EVIDENCE-BASED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN OLD AGE (PhysAgeNet) https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA20104 The main aim and objective of the Action is to establish a sustainable network fostering evidence-basedresearch and practice of physical activity in older adults and enhancing integration of innovative ICTsolutions based on open data consolidated research information, in order to promote health and reduce theburden of inactivity in ageing populations. This will be achieved through the specific objectives detailed inthe Technical Annex. WG 2 Data for utilising biomarkers and behavioural markers as well as environmental factors.This WG relates to open data and multiple source data for utilising biomarkers and behaviouralmarkers as well as environmental factors in technology-assisted PA and exercise interventions. Inorder to reach RCO 1, RCO 2 and RCO 3, this WG will create an overview on markers of the ageingprocesses, environmental factors, and fitness components (with a broad meaning) includ ingmeasurement issues, for establishing a cohesive conception of measurements and meaningful data.This includes open data and citizen science. These concepts are innovative in the field and canleverage the usefulness of the multiple source approach. Not only prospective (after publication of re -search papers) collection of data should be covered and promoted, but also retrospective data, in or-der to understand the progress of research on ageing and PA and the mechanisms behind these con -cepts.
