The aging process contributes to the reduction of muscle mass, strength, and power. Consequently, functional fitness undergoes a gradual decline over the years, impairing the ability to perform activities of daily living safely, independently, and without excessive fatigue.
In view of the deleterious effects of aging, there is an interest in developing and enabling therapeutic strategies that could attenuate such effects and consequently promote independence and quality of life for the older population. It has been recommended to focus on functional fitness variables, an important clinical outcome related to autonomy in older adults. Exercise, nutrition, and other health interventions appear to be effective for promoting multisystem adaptations in older adults.
We welcome the submissions of manuscripts covering, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Behavioural and cognitive consequences of aging on the personal autonomy and independence.
• Musculoskeletal disorders that have consequences for the autonomy and independence of the older population.
• Chronic diseases related to aging and their impact on the physical and mental health of the older adults.
• Pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions to improve personal autonomy and independence in the older population.
• Exercises and nutrition interventions for the older population.
