Physical Fitness

The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends home-based exercise interventions to improve physical fitness (i.e., muscle strength, muscle power, muscle endurance, balance) among adults aged 65 years and older. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2nd edition recommends older adults achieve a multicomponent physical activity regimen that combines aerobic activities with physical fitness exercises such as those used in these interventions.
