Research on the physiological and physical implications of aging is presented, focusing on study outcomes and their practical application in optimizing healthy aging.
Presented in an integrated and cohesive manner, this text is organized into four parts.
- Part I covers the theoretical foundations of biological aging, the implications of aging theories on medical research, and the social and economic impacts of demographic shifts due to population aging and global population size.
- Part II addresses age-related changes to the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and endocrine systems.
- Part III covers the physical effects of aging on other dimensions of life, including balance, motor control, and physical functions.
- Part IV focuses on exercise and older adults, taking an in-depth look at exercise measurements and the main barriers to regular exercise. One full chapter is devoted to recommendations for optimizing health for the general public, while another chapter is focused on performance by elite older athletes who exercise beyond functional fitness.
