Today there is a lot of books being published on anti aging and longevity. One of the major focuses is on the role exercise as related to athletics. This book The New Face of Aging profiles senior adults who have taken up sports in their later years. Since this book cr 2001 is now a bit dated it really serves as an inspirational text and sadly probably most of the people profiled are most likely no longer with us. Still their stories will inspire people in the 60s to 80s to get up off the couch and start working out and start participating in a sport. It really never is too late. ( )
