Scientific Proceedings from the 6th World Congress on Aging and Physical Activity

Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging (CCAA) - Scientific Proceedings from the 6th World Congress on Aging and Physical Activity - The 6th World Congress on Aging and Physical Activity was an opportunity for the world community to share the latest research findings in the area of aging and physical activity. It also introduced leading edge methods on developing, implementing, and evaluating physical activity programs for older adults.

These Scientific Proceedings highlight international research initiatives and programs promoting the necessity of physical activity and exercise for all older adults including the robust, restorative and the frail. Over 50 scientific papers address topics from basic, applied, clinical, epidemiological and psychosocial sciences and over 100 presentations have been archived on a special enclosed CD-ROM. Both the papers and presentations within this publication will be of relevance to anyone interested in the health and well-being of older adults. This publication will hopefully act as a catalyst to generate interest in this area of research and foster further international collaborations throughout the physical activity and aging research community.
