The proportion and the absolute number of elderly in populations around the world are increasing dramatically. Aging is often accompanied by a loss of muscle mass, strength, and function (sarcopenia) and a loss of sensory, visual, or auditory function. These changes may occur in a non-linear manner, which results in very different levels of physical functioning in the older population. Considering the importance of aging in the world, the Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA) was established. The Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA) is a non-profit, independent organization. Our decision-makers and members are busy health and sports science professionals who volunteer their time and expertise. Our officers and leadership are renowned experts in aging and physical activity, who their time to help strengthen our organization and serve researchers and the elderly within the field of aging and physical activity. As a society of aging and physical activity, we promote excellence in aging and physical activity, leading to improved aging. One of the main issues addressed by SAPA are the impact of physical activity or exercise on physical Injuries and physiological functioning of older people, physical activity patterns in advanced age, and the relationship between physical activity and health. Hence, it is important for the association to keep at the forefront of non-pharmaceuticals research and maintains its position as one of the world’s scientific hotspots in aging and physical activity. Our mission is to foster and support the development of aging with physical activity across the world, leading to better outcomes. We aim to promote the quality of life of the elderly through exercise and sports recommendations and biomedical scientific research in this field. Also, we try to bring together the best researchers, experts, and educators in the field to achieve our mission. We work closely with the organizations of aging and physical activity to ensure the interests and perspectives of the elderly are embedded in everything we do. Everything we do advances the prevention of aging disorders and the management of aging. We unite national aging and physical activity societies from around the world. This unique network allows us to understand the impact of aging and how we can better reduce its burden. The SAPA disseminates evidence-based scientific knowledge to aging and physical activity professionals so they can better care for their elderly. SAPA is dedicated to supporting programs concerning education and training, publishing journals and books, and convening meetings, conferences, workshops, careers, and colloquia. SAPA currently publishes two journals, Physical activity in aging and Annals of Applied Physiology, which can be the basis for new research in this field. We also provide regular news and updates via our SAPA pages website and email newsletters.
