I am interested in attempting to increase activity progressively over time throughout the aging process. I expect it is physiologically possible to increase activity but have not been able to identify any animal or human study in the published literature.
Thank you.
Since you asked a general question, I am providing a general answer.
Given that aging invariably includes a phase of physical decline, I believe that your expectation is incorrect.
I think that activity can be progressively increased in aging process, but it also has the limit, not over time throughout the aging process. There are some ways to increase activity in aging process. For examples the elderly doing excercise called Taichi Chi Kung. This is the traditional way from Chinese culture that is still relevant and accepted to process the energy. And also don't forget the nutrition that are neccessary to maintain physiologicly energy process in the body. Intake of carbohidrat and saturated lipid not too much, and intake protein proportionately. Vitamins and minerals also important to maintain energy gain process we obtain from carbohidat, lipid and protein. Intake of water and sleep well, not stres, etc...... build energy for daily activity.
Well, of course, since any aging process is linear in one direction of time, there is a period when activity progressively can be increased. The question was, can activity progressively be increased THROUGHOUT the aging process? For the reason I already gave, I still maintain that the answer is no.
