Abstract
Half of what the average individual claims as the process of aging is really due to inactivity. The present book presents authoritative data on the en- vironmental component of the aging curve and the modifications of lifestyle that may prevent andor reverse those components of aging attributable to in- activity. The 12 papers in the book were delivered at the annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine in May, 1980. The topics considered include the respiratory system and aging, cardiovascular benefits of physical activity, the effects of exercise on the range of joint motion in elderly sub-jects, and bone changes in the exercising older adult.
