Susie Woo, MD,* Christina Derleth, MD,* John R. Stratton, MD, FACC,†‡ Wayne C. Levy, MD, FACC†Journal of the American College of Cardiologyhttp://content.onlinejacc.org/cgi/reprint/47/5/1049.pdfCONCLUSIONS Older age is associated with a decreased exercise efficiency and an increase in the oxygen cost of exercise, which contribute to a decreased exercise capacity. These age-related changes are reversed with exercise training, which improves efficiency to a greater degree in the elderly than in the young.Woohoo!!!
