Physical activity against early aging and noncommunicable diseases: International scientific-practical symposium in collaboration with the European Group for Research into Elderly and Physical Activity: book of abstracts, 3-4 October 2019, Kaunas, Lithuania

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. The focus of the International Scientific Symposium is on the latest trends in research on active and successful aging. The aim of the Symposium is to bring together scientists who are interested in the field of physical activity, aging and health and to conduct an open dialogue that combines and connects research and practical issues in this field.
