Age and exercise: a theoretical and empirical analysis of the effect of age and generation on physical activity
The well-documented association of reductions in physical activity with age is based largely on cross-sectional studies that do not distinguish between prevalence of physical activity and initiation/discontinuation patterns. These studies also fail to consider the changes in physical activity as a f...

| Summary: | The well-documented association of reductions in physical activity with age is based largely on cross-sectional studies that do not distinguish between prevalence of physical activity and initiation/discontinuation patterns. These studies also fail to consider the changes in physical activity as a function of life stage. We investigated how physical activity evolves over a lifetime. We distinguished between prevalence and initiation/discontinuation patterns and also considered multidirectional age effects. |
