Regular activity improves a person's overall health and enhances quality of life.
Training studies in people 85 years and older suggest no age limit to muscle trainabilty. In spite of evidence that shows regular physical activity has many benefits, a majority of older men and women remain very inactive. Despite the fitness boom of the last 25 years, America remains a largely sedentary society. Regular activity declines significantly in the older age groups. However, for the majority of older adults, physical activity is not only beneficial, but safe.
