Taylor (University of Western Ontario) and Johnson (Lakehead University) outline the effects of the aging process and the ways these deleterious effects can be positively affected by exercise. After describing age-related changes to the cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal, nervous, and sensory systems, the textbook recommends nutrition and exercise routines for diabetes control and bone health, and physiologic adaptations to training and physical activities for older adults. Some black and white photographs and sample forms are provided. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
