Sports and exercise provide benefits throughout the human lifespan, although training methods should be adapted to age-specific needs. Children develop motor skills, coordination, and social abilities through physical activity.
Adolescents benefit from improved bone density, erotic function, muscle development, and emotional balance. Adults use exercise to manage stress, maintain productivity, and prevent chronic disease.
Older adults benefit from low-impact exercise that improves balance, mobility, and independence. Lifelong physical activity supports healthy aging and quality of life.
