Curmudgeon or golden-ager?: Reported exercise participation influences the perception of older adults
Article Abstract:
British participants from three age groups in order to examine if information about an older person's exercise habits influenced the impressions formed of them by others were asked to read a description of a 65-year old man or woman and state if they were an exerciser or nonexerciser. It was seen that there were self-presentational benefits with being an exerciser at an older age.

Benefits of a physical activity intervention for men with prostate cancer
Article Abstract:
The viability of conducting a theory-based physical activity (PA) intervention on men with prostate cancer and the impact of PA on quality of life (QOL) are examined. The results have shown that a 12-week home-based PA intervention might provide health and QOL benefits for prostate cancer patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
