Keeping a movement humming along and getting participants in shape
By Del Moon
Everyone in the event business or those providing recreation services has their own pandemic story. When at-risk older adults are the primary demographic, the challenges are as complex as a Rubik’s Cube to resolve. The National Senior Games Association (NSGA) recognized early in 2020 there would be a major impact not only on games and schedules, but also on the physical fitness and well-being of its participants.
NSGA has staged the National Senior Games biennially since 1987; in 2019, history was made when nearly 14,000 competitors came to Albuquerque, N.M., for the National Senior Games, making it the largest qualified multisport event in history for any ages.
