Abstract
The components of a musculoskeletal conditioning program have been shown to result in physical benefits among older individuals. Exercise may influence the rate of bone loss, muscular strength and mass, flexibility, and endurance levels. These factors may influence the potential for possible injury. Special precautions should be taken for the older population with emphasis on environmental factors, hydration, and underlying health issues such as cardiorespiratory and orthopedic problems. These concerns may require modifications of the exercise program. Verf.-Referat
