Silver Foxes

For the third year running, we have been building a community of silver foxes – fit seniors – and, together with scientists and doctors from the Biomedical Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, we are supporting research into the effects of exercise on health. We strive to promote the concept of active aging. For example, we talked about the effects of physical activity on the health of seniors on Radio Regina’s Senior Club and also on the Kontakty program. During the pandemic, viewers could see how we exercise at home under the supervision of a trainer via the ZOOM app in the program Moja diagnóza (My Diagnosis) on STV2.

Why donate 2% of your tax to us?

Through regular cardio and strength training supervised by trainers in small groups at the SAV Physical Activity Center, we help each other build good physical condition and strengthen our mental health. We would also like to see as many fit and positive seniors as possible. So that your parents or grandparents can also have this opportunity. It would be great if you could support us by donating 2% of your taxes. We would like to use it to build a shower corner, which we lack, and also to purchase additional sports equipment.

The Silver Foxes civic association was founded in 2018 with the aim of:

  • bringing together people who have a positive outlook on life,
  • promoting the concept of active aging,
  • build a community of “silver foxes” – fit seniors who strive to achieve the highest possible quality of life through their own efforts,
  • minimize the negative aspects of aging, which are mainly related to increased morbidity, the need for pharmacotherapy and health care,
  • spread ideas about the suitability of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases,
  • support research into the effects of physical activity on health in different age groups, as well as in patients with chronic diseases, by putting it into practice. See our statutes

How do we do it?

  • We help each other build good physical condition and strengthen mental health through appropriate physical, mental, and educational activities.
  • SILVER FOXES exercise at the BMC SAS Center for Physical Activity
  • Let’s support a lifestyle for seniors that ensures the maintenance and development of their physical and mental strength for as long as possible, thereby delaying their social dependence, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and significantly reducing healthcare costs.
  • We support social ties among seniors and intergenerational activities.
  • We organize and facilitate volunteer work.
  • We would like to organize sports and educational events and create initiatives that will remove barriers in the lives of older people.
  • In cooperation with scientists and doctors from the Biomedical Center of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, we support research into the effects of physical activity on health.
