What are the benefits of regular exercise for older adults?
ANSWER:
The physical benefits of regular exercise are many and include improved cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, better strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. Psychologically speaking, those who exercise regularly report better cognitive functioning, lower levels of stress, and better mood. In addition to exercise's positive effects on health, there is evidence that it is associated with less cortical atrophy and better brain function. Specifically, exercise has positive effects on the prefrontal and hippocampal areas of the brain, which are closely associated with memory and other cognitive functions.
