Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity publishes research on physical activity interventions and their effects on older adults. Studies investigate the impact of various exercise programs, including strength training, endurance training, dance, walking football, yoga, and water-based aerobics, on physical fitness, cognitive function, quality of life, and specific health conditions like chronic low back pain and knee pain. Research also examines adherence to physical activity guidelines, barriers to participation, and the relationship between physical activity and outcomes such as frailty, muscle mass, and fracture risk in older populations.
