Climbing the ladder of life, active and fit : international scientific-practical symposium in collaboration with the European Group for Research into Elderly and Physical Activity : book of abstracts

Abstract

While there is sufficient evidence to acknowledge the benefits of physical activity across the human lifespan, many questions regarding physical activity in old age remain unanswered. These questions encompass basic philosophical issues related to aging and/or movement, questions seeking to examine the underpinnings of movement, and specific questions related to unique aspects of physical activity and movement in advanced age.
