A third example of a socially inclusive form of exercise suitable for seniors is indoor curling. This is a very small-scale activity that is very relevant to the participants. Indoor curling started almost randomly in the Helsinki Association of the Disabled. However, the game proved to be suitable for members of the association who have a wide range of disabilities. It is also well suited for different ages and genders. (see Saari 2011).

Sometimes social inclusion in physical activity and sport does not require very large arrangements and resources, but a form of physical activity suitable for the target group is almost in itself a sufficient factor. Of course, here too there was a need for enthusiastic volunteers and game practitioners, but if a community exists, then a new, one-size-fits-all form of exercise may be a sufficient factor in the emergence of a new, but now long-lasting, social pastime.
