Kinesiology is the study of movement and we learn a lot about the powerful role of physical activity on overall health and well-being throughout the lifespan. Behavioral, social, cognitive, and physical changes that aging populations experience influence the level of engagement or functional capability in activities of daily living. Considering the decline of physical fitness (strength, endurance, agility, and flexibility) associated with aging, the positive impact of being

Attributable to biological aging and its connection to chronically lowered levels of activity, sedentary behavior has a causal relationship with muscle atrophy and degeneration. While both aging and activity level play a role in this, myofibers have been proven to show gains when engaged in physical activity. Research continues to show that a decrease in overall muscle mass is associated with decreased physical function, increased risk of physical limitations, increased risk
