AB  - Physical  activity  has  a  profound  positive  impact  on  health,  chronic  disease  prevention,  function,  and  fall  prevention,  especially  for  older  adults;  higher  levels  of  physical  activity  have  been  linked  to  reduced  morbidity  and  mortality.  New  evidence  has  emerged  indicating  the  positive  impact  of  physical  activity  on  cognition  and  psychological  health.  Although  physical  activity  has  clear  benefits  to  health  and  function,  most  older  adults  are  not  physically  active  or  do  not  engage  in  activity  at  high  enough  intensities  to  obtain  the  noted  health  benefits.  In  fact,  <10%  of  older  adults  meet  the  recommended  guidelines  for  physical  activity  (ie,  30–60  minutes  of  moderate-to-vigorous  physical  activity  per  day,  5  or  more  days  a  week),  accumulating  only  5  to  10  minutes  of  moderate-to-vigorous  physical  activity  per  day.
