Jungbrunnen Sport? Emanzipative Bewegungsbildung im Alter

Findings of the empirically and medically oriented sports sciences point to the fact that ageing processes can be retarded and their consequences alleviated by adequately dosed exercise. The compensation-oriented intervention plan derived from this fact is, however, based on normative ideas of an unproblematic functioning of the body which is seen as the essential prerequisite of a high quality of living in old age. The objective of an education for the elderly that focusses on an emancipative ageing process is, however, rather to support the elderly in necessary processes of raising of self-awareness and personal development.
