摘要：

Increasing numbers of middle-aged and older adults participate in sports, and athletes wish to remain active as they age. Understanding the anatomic, physiologic, and psychosocial differences between older and younger athletes can help aging athletes maintain function. Athletic capacity may be sustained well into advanced age, and many of the physiologic consequences of aging may be mitigated or reversed by regular exercise. Most injuries in older athletes are chronic and overuse injuries that result in diminished flexibility and endurance. In addition, many aging athletes have medical and musculoskeletal problems that mandate tailoring athletic activity to the patient's general health and functional requirements.
