We can take from the phylogenesis and ontogenesis of the human being how important physical activity is for personality development and for maintaining physical fitness in old age. Many phenomena, which have so far been thought to be due to natural consequences of the ageing process, can now be traced back to lack of physical activity. These findings are illustrated by examples referring to the most important subsystems of our organism (such as the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, etc.). To keep these subsystems and with them our organism as a whole functioning as well as possible, we must improve their specific adaptability through sports and exercise. Sports and exercise for the elderly as well as gymnastics for senior citizens should therefore adequately improve co-ordinative skills, the ability of the muscles to relax, joint flexibility, muscle strength, endurance, vegetative adaptability, stress tolerance, controlling body-weight, and resistance to infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.18.1.4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,16]],"date-time":"2008-12-16T00:55:24Z","timestamp":1229388924000},"page":"4-12","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Developing physical fitness for the elderly through sport and exercise."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"H.","family":"Meusel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1984,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","article-title":"lzmenenie gibkosti, ravnovesija i bystroty dvizenij u lic srednego i pozilogo vozrasta v svjazi s zanjatijami gimnastikoj.
