Ageing has a profound impact on most organs and tissues. Ageing is unavoidable but can be slowed down by exercise and well-being.

The course will: (i) present the adaptations of cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular and nervous system to ageing and will consider the cellular and molecular mechanisms supporting those adaptations; (ii) will integrate such knowledge in the overall ageing phenomenon; (iii) will show the impact of immobilization, exercise, and nutrition on the ageing process from the molecular to the organ level.
