Movement is a fundamental function of life. Human beings move through the act of breathing before they learn language and speak. Movement is central to all of life’s processes: growth and development, energy production and utilization, and environmental adaptation. This chapter will explore the power of human movement and how it can be harnessed to address the challenges of aging. Movement in this chapter refers to physical activity and exercise. The challenge of aging for the future is not simply prolonging human life at any cost or by any means but rather extending self-sufficiency and quality of life. Aging adults need to keep on moving to keep their independence, self-care and improve their quality of life. The chapter will present current knowledge and new insights from contemporary research as we explore how physical activity and exercise can help address challenges of aging in these areas: musculoskeletal health, pain, immune system and brain health.
