body gets older and muscular activity becomes less takes more to complete a task. As for the respiratory function the lungs lose elastic recoil in the lung tissues. These changes can reduce the efficiency of gas exchange and lake hard to exercise. The cardiovascular function usually shows a slowdown in the autonomic nervous system‚ but is usually good enough to allow moderate physical activity‚ throughout their lives. As for the metabolism and Endocrine with old age comes the reduction in hormone
