A growing body of evidence suggests that evidence-based exercise, used as both preventive and therapeutic medicine, may hold the key to extending healthy longevity, preventing chronic conditions, and preserving physical and cognitive function. The “Global consensus on optimal exercise recommendations for enhancing healthy longevity in older adults (ICFSR)” emphasizes the importance of integrating tailored exercise regimens into geriatric care, positioning exercise not only as preventive medicine but also as a therapeutic cornerstone in managing age-related decline. The updated consensus document introduces several advancements that distinguish it from the previous consensus published a few years ago. It emphasizes more personalized, evidence-based exercise prescriptions that align with individual health profiles and conditions, moving beyond genericactivityguidelines.
