Module 2 – Applied Physiology of Aging
Learning Objectives
- Define key terms associated with aging
- Recall what studies on Masters’ athletes have taught us about primary and secondary aging
- Describe the effects of age on performance in Masters’ athletes
- List typical physiological changes that have been attributed to the aging process
- Specifically describe changes in the neuromuscular, skeletal, cardiometabolic and cognitive systems with age
- Identify the general effects of exercise on the aging neuromuscular, skeletal, cardiometabolic and cognitive systems.
