Preferred term

exercise and physical activity  

Definition

  • The literature on exercise and physical activity in older adults has exploded over the past two decades as the field of health and aging has come to realize the significance of regular physical activity as a means of promoting health in older adults as well as the difficulty in promoting regular physical activity in this predominantly sedentary population. The focus of this entry is on physical activity in older populations. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health & Aging; Exercise and Physical Activity]
