Worldwide, individuals are living longer. As such, the number of older adults in society is increasing. By 2050, it is estimated that there will be more than two billion individuals aged over 60. This aging population is associated with an anticipated increase in the burden of the leading causes of death in modern societies, including chronic and degenerative diseases that are largely driven by age-related declines in physiological function. Physical activity is an essential regulator of energy homeostasis and helps improve metabolic health. In fact, it is well known that regular exercise lowers the risk of a broad variety of health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer in the aged. The beneficial effect of exercise is particularly evident in older people, but it is present in all stages of life, from children to the elderly. In this regard, regular exercise and physical activity are considered key first line strategies for a healthy life.
