| Annotation | The physiological and psychological benefits of physical exercise for older people are well established; however, the special exercise needs of older people have tended to be neglected by the "fitness revolution". This book, aimed at fitness professionals, provides information and advice on all aspects of exercise for older people. It is divided into six chapters, covering the following topics: physiology of ageing and exercise; understanding and motivating older adults; common health problems in older people; pre-exercise screening and fitness assessment; exercise techniques for older people; and exercise programming and leadership.
