Aging and physical activity

The need for movement is one of basic biological needs in humans. As people grow older, their involvement in physical activity tends to decrease. This reduction in physical activity may have negative effects on health in older adults (+65 years of age), especially due to physical changes and vulnerability attributed to aging.

Regular physical activity in older adults has numerous health benefits. Regular physical activity in older adults reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, hypertension, various types of cancer, dementia, asthma, diabetes type 2 and fractures. Physically active older adults have lower prevalence diseases, higher level of cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, healthier body mass and composition enhanced bone health and reduced all-cause mortality. World Health Organization recognizes physical inactivity as a major contemporary public health problem.
