Abstract
The coincidence of age changes with alterations in body structure and function is striking. Increasing evidence indicates that many of the changes commonly attributable to aging can be retarded by an active exercise program. Physical exercise, properly supervised, is a safe and widely applicable form of therapy.Keywords
