Physical Activity and Aging

"Physical Activity and Ageing" reports on the relationship between ageing and motor function, cardiovascular function and ageing, balance and ageing, the nervous system of the elderly, changes in the activity level of the elderly, possible reasons for activity level changes, and how such changes affect health and fitness. This book is designed as a source for physical educators, health care providers, gerontologists, exercise scientists and social workers to become familiar with current research on the relationship between physical activity and ageing. The book should also be useful for graduate seminars examining the relationship between exercise and the physical and mental health of the elderly.
