Symposium 2019

International scientific – practical symposium Physical activity against early aging and noncommunicable diseases

3-4 October, 2019       Kaunas

While there is sufficient evidence to acknowledge the benefits of physical activity across the human lifespan, many questions regarding physical activity in old age remain unanswered. These questions encompass basic philosophical issues related to aging and/or movement, questions seeking to examine the underpinnings of movement, and specific questions related to unique aspects of physical activity and movement in advanced age.  

You are cordially invited to the International Scientific Symposium which will focus on the latest trends in research on active and successful aging. The aim of the Symposium is to bring together scientists who are interested in the field of physical activity, aging and health and to conduct an open dialogue that combines and connects research and practical issues in this field.
