Abstract
Physical activity influence health outcomes of relevance to elderly populations, such as mortality, incidence of common chronic diseases, physical performance measures as indicators of physical and cognitive functioning, health-related quality of life, depression, sarcopenia and frailty. Categories of physical activity include occupational, household, exercise and leisure. Aerobic exercise promotes cardiorespiratory fitness, which is a determinant of chronic disease risk, and can be measured directly using VO2max or indirectly using the 6-minute walk test. Resistance exercises, flexibility and balance exercises are equally important in prevention of sarcopenia and frailty, while mind body exercises may improve both physical and psychological health. Lifestyle modification strategies are needed for uptake and maintenance of exercise recommendations into regular daily practice in order to achieve good outcomes.
