Effects of Exercise on Cardiovascular Health in Older Adults

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The aging population faces numerous challenges related to cardiovascular health, and exercise has been recognized as a key intervention to improve outcomes in older adults. This thesis investigates the effects of exercise on cardiovascular health in older adults, aiming to provide valuable insights into the potential benefits and mechanisms underlying this relationship. The study design includes a comprehensive literature review, a detailed research methodology, data collection, analysis of findings, and implications for practice and future research.
