Parkour for older adults—yes. Parkour for seniors? Absolutely.
It may sound surprising, but PK Silver is backed by research. In 2018, Marymount University and Texas Tech University conducted a groundbreaking joint study examining the effects of modified parkour training for older adults. The research used the 8-week PK Silver© program as its test case.
The results positioned PK Silver© to become the world’s first evidence-based parkour program designed specifically for senior citizens. The study was led by Dr. Alexei Wong and his research team at the Marymount University School of Health Sciences.
We extend our sincere thanks to our licensee, Goodwin House—a senior living community in Alexandria, Virginia—for their partnership and participation in this important research.

Compliance is a huge challenge in getting many people to exercise. Parkour offers an answer by making exercise into social play. It is fun, not work. Do you do research on the impact of exercise on older adults or kids' physical, mental, and emotional well being? We would love to partner with you to build on the excellent work already done to show how parkour can improve people's lives and to make these programs even better. Please reach out at research@pkmove.org.
