Benefits of Physical Activity in Active Ageing -- Chapter 3. Activity Programs for the Elderly -- Chapter 4. Conclusions, Practical Implications and Recommendations.This book presents an analysis of active ageing and physical activity from a multidisciplinary perspective. With descriptions of exercises, adequately illustrated with pictures, this book shows that regular physical activity reduces the prevalence of chronic diseases associated with ageing, as well as the risk of morbidity and mortality of the elderly. It confirms that exercise programs minimize the psychomotor decline, prevent the loss of functionality, inability and dementia, and foster significant gains in health and well-being, leading to increased quality of life of the elderly.SpringerBriefs in Well-Being and Quality of Life Research,2211-7644Quality of lifeOccupational therapyAgingQuality of Life Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000Occupational Therapyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H77000Aginghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X11000Quality of life.Occupational therapy.Aging.Quality of Life Research.Occupational Therapy.Aging.306Dias Gonçalo Nuno Figueiredoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061237Couceiro Micael Santosauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910252708603321Active Ageing and Physical Activity2517961UNINA
