Introduction[edit | edit source]

Chronic conditions is prevalent in older adults as a result of impact of ageing on body system. Some of this decline is considered normal ageing while chronic conditions that is prevalent among this population also compound their health outcome. Common condition in older adults such as neurocognitive disorder, osteoarthritis and cardiovascular diseases impair or reduce their activity level and further predispose them to sedentary associated diseases. Recently there is growing interest in Physical activity and exercise to improve functions, remediate or alleviate impairments in this population. This paper will identify potential physical activity and exercises that capable or reversing or alleviate process of ageing.


Hallmarks of Ageing[edit | edit source]

Ageing process is a multifactorial proces without a definite single point. Recently, there is evidence support that nine cellular and molecular hallmarks could explain ageing process which includes genomic instability; telomere attrition; epigenetic alterations; loss of proteostasis; and deregulated nutrient sensing, Other include mitochondrial dysfunction; cellular senescence;, stem cell exhaustion, and altered intercellular communication[1].

Physical activity[edit | edit source]

Physical activity deals skeletal movement that results in energy expenditure an exercise is a subset of Physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive with aim of maintaining or improving physical fitness[2]. And physical fitness are health or skill related attributes that can be quantified with objective measures[2].

Physical activity and Hallmarks of Ageing[edit | edit source]

America College of Sport Medicine[3] had shown that physical activity among older adults has alot of benefits including lower rates of all-cause mortality like reducing risk of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer and breast cancer, Physical fitness among this population also improves chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes , cardiovascular diseases and bone density enhancement,
