Effect of Physical Exercise on Older Adult's Daily Living Activities

It is believed that, "the ageing process is a biological reality which has its own dynamic, largely beyond human control. However, it is also subject to the constructions by which each society makes sense of old age. In the developed world, chronological time plays a supreme role. The age of 60 or 65, roughly equivalent to retirement ages in most developed countries is said to be the beginning of old age. Actually, in contrast to the chronological milestones which mark life stages in the developed world, old age in many developing countries is seen to begin at the point when active contribution is no longer possible". Stereotypes about aging are often inaccurate. In developed countries, most of older adults live independently maintaining relationships with family and friends; meanwhile, this may not be the case in developing countries where the majority of older adults do suffer the old age changes and complications leading them to be partially or even completely dependent upon others within their support network that must be ready and available to help and support them anytime.
