Best practices statement: Physical activity programs and behavior counseling in older adult populations

Article Abstract:

The key practices for promoting physical activity in older adults, with a focus on older adults with chronic disease or low fitness and those with low levels of physical activity are discussed. Regular participation in physical activity is one of the most effective ways for older adults, including those with disabilities, to help prevent chronic disease, promote independence, and increase quality of life in old age.

Resistance training on physical performance in disabled older female cardiac patients

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that intense resistance-training improves physical capacity for household activities in disabled older women with coronary heart disease. Data show that resistance-training benefits go beyond strength-related activities such as endurance, balance, coordination, and flexibility, suggesting strength training could be a component of rehabilitation program.

Physical activity and the progressive change in body composition with aging: current evidence and research issues

Article Abstract:

This study examines the effect of aerobic and resistance exercise paradigms on body composition in terms of fat mass and fat-free mass criteria. Results show that both exercise types reduce body fat and resistance exercise and appear to increase fat free mass in older individuals.
