Exercise is generally good for the elderly, but high intensity training is especially beneficial and may even extend life, finds the 5-year Generation 100 exercise study.

The odds are extremely low that exercise will trigger an adverse cardiac event in these patients, the authors say. They offers ideas for encouraging engagement in a monitored physical activity program.

Moderately active older adults were up to 27% less likely to have more than seven hospital admissions per year.

Moderate physical activity – including walking and household chores – reduces the risk of hip and total fracture in postmenopausal women.

A new study shows that 10-to-20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise each day may be the minimum required to boost key brain functions.

Strength-based activity helps older adults delay the muscle decline that sets in after age 50 and supports functional independence, say British experts.

When people with heart disease exercise, their mortality risk falls by 14%. Their healthier peers don’t reap the same benefits, say researchers.

A single bout of aerobic exercise can have an immediate effect on cognitive function and working memory in older adults.
