About this Seminar

Exercise is a proven strategy to prolong health span in older adults. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in adaptive responses to exercise and accumulating evidence suggests that some older adults exhibit attenuated responsiveness to exercise. This presentation will focus on how healthy aging influences exercise response and the potential influence of anatomically distinct adipose tissue depots.
