The current paradigm holds that people age better if they stay physically active, but Fernandez-Ballesteros (psychology, Autonomous U. of Madrid) argues that proponents and scientists have focused so intently on the biological dimensions of such activity that they have neglected others. She discusses the psychological factors from such perspectives as facts and projections of population aging, behavioral health and physical fitness, social functioning and participation, and active aging promotion programs. She has not indexed her work.
