The purpose of this Position Stand is to provide an overview issues critical understanding the importance exercise and physical activity in older adult populations. divided into three sections: Section 1 briefly reviews structural functional changes that characterize normal human aging, 2 considers extent which can influence aging process, 3 summarizes benefits both long-term shorter-duration programs on health capacity. Although no amount stop biological there evidence regular minimize...
In recent years, it has become increasingly evident that higher education in the United States is experiencing somewhat of a paradigm shift. We are being challenged to reform our institutions order respond changing societal needs resulting from fast-paced, digital transformation industries, systems, and daily lives. The member American Academy Kinesiology will need think long hard about how they these challenges. America’s universities have responsibility be catalyst for human-centric,...
For more than half a century fellows of the National Academy Kinesiology have enthusiastically advocated for promotion and adoption physically active lifestyles as an affordable effective means to prevent chronic diseases conditions, enhance independence high quality life older adults. It is possible discern distinct evolutionary stages when examining scholarship related role physical activity in healthy aging. Research into aging began with critical early studies that established underlying...
The U.S. population is plagued by physical inactivity, lack of cardiorespiratory fitness, and sedentary lifestyles, all which are strongly associated with the emerging epidemic chronic disease. time right to incorporate activity assessment promotion into health care in a manner that engages clinicians patients. In April 2015, American College Sports Medicine Kaiser Permanente convened joint consensus meeting subject matter experts from stakeholder organizations discuss development...
The relationship between physical fitness and cognitive performance in old age is examined the light of contemporary capacity theories attention. It suggested that a model cognition based upon notion declining attentional with advancing provides valuable conceptual framework for examining influence on age. A direct prediction tasks which require effortful processing should be more sensitive to effects than can performed without or minimal future research area exercise systematically...
Although no amount of physical activity can stop the aging process, a moderate regular exercise minimize physiological effects an otherwise sedentary lifestyle and increase active life expectancy by limiting development progression chronic disease disabling conditions. Ideally, prescription for older adults should include aerobic, muscle strengthening, flexibility exercises. In addition, individuals at risk falling or mobility impairment also perform specific exercises to improve balance....
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects speed and cognitive stress on articulatory coordination abilities adults who stutter. Cardiovascular (heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic pressure), behavioral (dysfluencies, errors, speech response latency), acoustic (word duration, vowel consonant-vowel transition duration/extent, formant center frequency) measures for nine stutterers nonstutterers were collected during performance Stroop Color Word task, a...
A limiting factor in evaluating the functional status of older people is lack appropriate measurement tools for assessing mobility, muscle strength, aerobic endurance, agility, and flexibility. In this study, reliability validity seven-item Fullerton Functional Fitness Test (FFT) battery, designed use with community-dwelling adults, was examined. The test items were as follows: floor sit-and-reach, back scratch, 8-ft up-and-go, arm curl, 30-s chair stand. 2-min step, 9-min walk. Seventy-nine...
The Exercise Assessment and Screening for You (EASY) is a tool developed to help older individuals, their health care providers, exercise professionals identify different types of physical activity regimens that can be tailored meet the existing conditions, illnesses, or disabilities adults. EASY includes 6 screening questions were based on an expert roundtable follow-up panel activities. philosophy behind should dynamic process in which participants learn appreciate importance engaging...
Mass communication health campaign messages play critical roles in public health, yet studies show mixed effectiveness reaching and impacting underserved populations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefits using visual participatory research techniques toward message development targeting older Hispanic women. Demographic information levels physical activity were first obtained a sample Mexican women (n = 23; ages 71.9 ± 7.6 years) living city Chicago. Perceptions then...
A cross-sectional study was carried out in order to determine the influence of cardiovascular fitness on age-related declines cognitive performance. Forty-eight volunteers were divided into Young ( n = 13, 18–27 years), Middle-Aged 22, 60–65 years) and Old 65–88 groups tested a battery cardiovascular, pulmonary, hemodynamic, biochemical tests assess physical fitness. Cognitive performance evaluated by variety memory tasks distributed along an automatic-to-effortful processing continuum....
Abstract The year 1999 was designated the International Year of Older Persons (IYOP) by United Nations and focused attention on many challenges facing society as a result aging population during 20th century. Traditional models health social care are likely to be severely challenged growing numbers older adults in both industrialized developing societies. There is now compelling evidence that regular physical activity associated with significant physiological, psychological, benefits adult...

Background: Explored the role of public health centers in delivery physical activity programs to older Brazilians. Methods: Total 114 adults (81% women) from across city Florianopolis, Brazil, were randomized into three groups: behavior change group (n = 36), traditional exercise 52), and control 26). The behavioral included 12 weekly meetings (2 h each). offered a 12-week class. Individuals participated only measurements. Program evaluation mixed-methods approach following RE-AIM framework...
