Samenvatting

This literature review investigated the influence of specifically designed team ball games on healthy ageing in older adults. The search revealed six relevant articles of good and fair quality according to an adapted version of the Downs and Blacks Checklist. Although the best evidence synthesis revealed limited to weak overall evidence, positive influences on all four domains of healthy ageing have been found. This concludes that specifically designed team ball games could decrease the incidence of chronic conditions in older adults.
