AnnotationIt was Cicero's opinion that "it is our duty to resist old age; to compensate for its defects by a watchful care; to fight against it as we would against disease; to adopt a regimen of health; to practise moderate exercise". Improving physical fitness and enhancing the capabilities that this activates, are a crucial to increased longevity. This article outlines the evidence for different forms of exercise. (RH).
