| A new study in the Journal of Physiology explored the connection between aging and physical activity, finding that older adults who exercised regularly experienced health and functioning similar to younger adults. The study examined the health of people who bicycle regularly, and compared the physical functioning of older cyclists to younger ones. The researchers found that the older cyclists had levels of physical functioning similar to the younger cyclists, and that they performed physical tests well. However, the older cyclists did experience less muscle mass and lower overall aerobic capabilities, which may be a result of the body aging. Overall, regular physical activity was found to help the bodily functioning of the older adults in the study.
