ICAA's Age-Friendly Philosophy designates programs that provide the information, access and motivation people need to become and stay active. As individuals move through the aging process, they also move through levels of functional ability. The Age-Friendly Philosophy moves with them, highlighting areas for the older athlete, those who are active now or just getting started, and people who need a little help or a lot of help.
