Journal of Aging and Physical Activity

As a multidisciplinary journal, the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) provides researchers and practitioners with up to date scientific information that can be directly applied to practice. JAPA focuses on the aging process and the role of physical activity in promoting health and preventing or delaying the onset of disability. Original research articles explore the aging process from psychological, physiological, and/or sociological perspectives, providing the reader with a broader understanding of the multidimensional factors influencing the aging process. For gerontologists, physical therapists, medical doctors, recreation directors, and other researchers and practitioners who work with the elderly, JAPA is an indispensable resource. In recent issues, JAPA has presented information about age-associated influences on reactive postural control and gait stability, training responses in the frail elderly, the influence of life events and interpersonal loss on exercise adherence, and strategic priorities for increasing physical activity among adults 50 years and older. The online format of JAPA offers the same authoritative content contained in the print edition, but with the additional advantages of electronically formatted material including the potential to search journals in seconds, access to all back issues, and the ability to view the online version weeks before the print version arrives. Online subscribers are also sent each issue's table of contents by e-mail to announce that a new issue has been published. JAPA is the official journal of the International Society for Aging and Physical Activity.Jones, Jessie C. is the author of 'Journal of Aging and Physical Activity', published 2005 under ISBN 9780736010382 and ISBN 0736010386.
