Exercise among Older Adults: New Perspectives with Innovative Training Interventions

B iological aging can differ from chronological aging and is influenced by a range of factors, including genetics, health-conscious behaviors, as well as environmental and social factors.This multifactorial process is reflected in heterogeneous aging phenotypes.Accordingly, tailored exercise programs that are designed to address distinct aging phenotypes, vary in their mode of delivery (in-person, remote, hybrid), and can be implemented in different settings are therefore desirable.Aging is a universal and inevitable process, characterized by (patho-)physiological changes and functional decline over time, leading to increased vulnerability to diseases and, ultimately, death.Lifestyle factors, most notably physical activity and tailored exercise interventions, play a significant role in shaping aging phenotypes.A healthy lifestyle can help mitigate declines in physical performance, support social participation and exert a fundamental positive impact on cognitive capacity (5).
