Advancing age is associated with physiologic changes that result in reductions in functional capacity and altered body composition
![Page 3: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Advancing age is associated with declines in physical activity volume and intensity
![Page 4: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Advancing age is associated with increased risk for chronic diseases, but physical activity significantly reduces this risk
![Page 5: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Individuals differ widely in how they age and in how they adapt to an exercise program.
It is likely that a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors contribute to the wide inter-individual variability seen in older adults.
![Page 6: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Healthy older adults are able to engage in acute aerobic or resistance exercise and experience positive adaptations to exercise training.
![Page 7: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Regular physical activity can favorably influence a broad range of physiological systems and may be a lifestyle factor that discriminates between those who have and have not experienced successful aging.
![Page 8: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Regular physical activity reduces the risk of developing a large number of chronic diseases and conditions and is valuable in the treatment of numerous diseases.
![Page 9: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Vigorous, long-term participation in aerobic exercise training (AET) is associated with elevated cardiovascular reserve and skeletal muscle adaptations that enable the aerobically trained older individual to sustain a submaximal exercise load with less cardiovascular stress and muscular fatigue than their untrained peers
![Page 10: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Prolonged aerobic exercise also seems to the age-related accumulation of central body fat and is cardioprotective.
![Page 11: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prolonged participation in resistive exercise training (RET) has clear benefits for slowing the loss of muscle and bone mass and strength, which are not seen as consistently with aerobic exercise alone.
![Page 12: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AET programs of sufficient ◦ Intensity (> 60% of pre-training VO2max), ◦ Frequency (> 3 d . wk-1)◦ Length (>16 wks)
can significantly increase VO2max in healthy middle-aged and older adults.
![Page 13: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Three or more months of moderate-intensity AET elicits cardiovascular adaptations in healthy middle-aged and older adults, which are evident at rest and in response to acute dynamic exercise.
![Page 14: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In studies involving overweight middle-aged and older adults, moderate intensity AET has been shown to be effective in reducing total body fat.
In contrast, most studies report no significant effect of AET on FFM.
![Page 15: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
AET can induce a variety of favorable metabolic adaptations including:◦ enhanced glycemic control, ◦ augmented clearance of postprandial lipids, ◦ and preferential utilization of fat during
submaximal exercise.
![Page 16: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
AET may be effective in counteracting age-related declines in BMD in postmenopausal women.
![Page 17: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Older adults can substantially increase their strength after RET.
73 years young
![Page 18: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Substantial increases in muscular power have been demonstrated after RET in older adults.
315 lbs lifted
![Page 19: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Increases in muscle quality (muscular performance per unit of muscle volume or mass) are similar between older and younger adults, and these improvements do not seem to be sex-specific.
![Page 20: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Improvements in muscular endurance have been reported after resistive muscular training using moderate- to higher-intensity protocols, whereas lower-intensity RET does not improve muscular endurance.
![Page 21: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Favorable changes in body composition, including increased FFM and decreased FM have been reported in older adults who participate in moderate or high intensity RET.
![Page 22: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
High-intensity RET preserves or improves BMD relative to sedentary controls, with a direct relationship between muscle and bone adaptations.
![Page 23: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Evidence on the effect of RET on metabolic variables is mixed.
There is some evidence that RET can alter the preferred fuel source used under resting conditions, but there is inconsistent evidence regarding the effects of RET on BMR.
![Page 24: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The effect of RET on a variety of hormones has been studied increasingly in recent years; however, the exact nature of the relationship is not well understood.
![Page 25: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Multimodal exercise, usually including strength and balance exercises, and tai chi have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of non-injurious and sometimes injurious falls in populations who are at an elevated risk of falling.
![Page 26: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Few controlled studies have examined the effect of flexibility exercise on ROM in older adults.
![Page 27: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
There is some evidence that flexibility can be increased in the major joints by ROM exercises; however, how much and what types of ROM exercises are most effective have not been established.
![Page 28: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The effect of exercise on physical function and activities of daily living is poorly understood and does not seem to be linear.
RET has been shown to favorably impact walking, chair stand, and balance activities, but more information is needed to understand the precise nature of the relationship between exercise and functional performance.
![Page 29: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Regular physical activity is associated with significant improvements in overall psychological well-being.
Both physical fitness and AET are associated with a decreased risk for clinical depression or anxiety.
![Page 30: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Exercise and physical activity have been proposed to impact psychological well-being through their moderating and mediating effects on constructs such as self-concept and self-esteem.
![Page 31: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Epidemiological studies suggest that cardiovascular fitness and higher levels of physical activity reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
![Page 32: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Experimental studies demonstrate that AET, RET, and especially combined AET and RET can improve cognitive performance in previously sedentary older adults for some measures of cognitive functioning but not others.
![Page 33: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Exercise and fitness effects are largest for tasks that require complex processing requiring executive control.
![Page 34: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Although physical activity seems to be positively associated with some aspects of quality of life, the precise nature of the relationship is poorly understood.
![Page 35: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
There is strong evidence that high-intensity RET is effective in the treatment of clinical depression.
![Page 36: Exercise and Physical Activity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/56815937550346895dc67158/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
More evidence is needed regarding the intensity and frequency of RET needed to elicit specific improvements in other measures of psychological health and well-being.
