The growing community need for social and physical activity has led to a significant increase in the number of people involved in sports and fitness. Nowadays, money spent on health and beauty is considered an investment in one’s future rather than a simple expense. Participants in the actively growing fitness industry market are capable of helping reach the goals the Russian President has set for physical education and sports and already possess the necessary resources: qualified personnel, techniques for involving the population in sports, and mechanisms for its countrywide development. In the light of the tasks set before the sport and fitness industry, active work on joint projects would seem necessary.
Do the current models of interaction between fitness, sport, and the state meet the conditions necessary for providing a breakthrough in the field of physical education and sports? Can these relationships rightly be called partnerships? What barriers need to be removed to facilitate new records in the healthy development of the nation?

Public awareness lags behind demographic changes, and society continues to perceive old age negatively. This has led to a serious modern problem known as ageism: a lack of understanding resulting from the existing attitude towards the elderly. It is for this reason that a change in social status and psychological adaptation to the new conditions of life are of such great importance. It is vital that modern society alter its thinking with respect to people of the older generation. Of particular importance are family traditions and the raising of children in a spirit of respect for their parents. We must at once begin to raise a generation that will seek to respect each other and to instil healthy family values. The elderly must live happily and must be healthy and active.
What social problems does an older person face in modern society and what problems does society face when tackling issues related to the elderly? How can we overcome the prevailing negative stereotypes associated with old age?
