The Max K. Horwitt Memorial Nutrition Lecture: Exercise Deficiency Syndrome - The Primacy of Exercise as a Therapeutic Agent in Frailty
10:15AM - 11:30AM
Mikel Izquierdo, PhD
Auditorium A

Physical inactivity has been argued as a key factor contributing to the onset of muscle mass and function decline (i.e, sarcopenia), which in turn is a key aspect related to frailty. The positive physiological effects of exercise on most systems as people age need to be reiterated. Sedentary behaviour, or a lack of sufficient physical activity, are themselves causes and will also accelerate individuals on a trajectory towards frailty.   Here we thus hypothesize that exercise, because of its global benefits across multiple physiological systems, should be a targeted, front line, therapeutic agent to improve intrinsic capacity.
