Abstract
The exercise prescription for the elderly must be designed according to the individuals age, fitness level, and health status. Goals should be directed toward increasing cardiorespiratory endurance, body composition, flexibility, and muscular strength and endurance. This article discusses the physiologic decline in the aging responses to training, pre-exercise assessment, the exercise prescription, and the influence of disease in designing a prescription.
