Regular physical activity supports physical, cognitive, and mental health in older adults. Physical activity can help older adults maintain mobility and autonomy, manage chronic disease, reduce fall risk, improve quality of life, and support social participation.

Physical activity commonly declines with age, and many older adults have difficulty sustaining regular exercise participation.
