Revisiting the Health and Wellness Benefits of Lifetime Sports to Aging Individuals 25 Years Later is an adaptation of Revisiting the Health and Wellness Benefits of Exercise, Physical Activity and Lifetime Sports Participation to Aging Individuals 25 Years Later that was presented orally at the International Health Conference at King’s College, London, England in June 2016. The study was initiated in 1991 in Prince George’s County, Maryland based upon the conceptual framework of published research determining that high intensity strength training in nonagenarians, persons in the 90-year old range, was beneficial to their overall health and well-being. More older individuals are living longer throughout the world and many of these aging individuals are healthy enough to actually enjoy their longevity. One of the main reasons for the improvements in longevity and functional health is many more aging individuals are better educated about what constitutes good health and are more accepting of those behavioral factors that contribute to good health such as increasing physical activity and initiating or maintaining active involvement in lifetime sports pursuits.
