AB This  portion  of  the  text  provides  information  relative  to  exercising  during  all  decades  of  life.  Chapter  25  covers  the  growth  and  maturation  processes  in  young  exercisers  and  how  they  impact  many  of  the  training  principles  presented  earlier  in  the  book.  Program  design  considerations  for  young  exercisers  are  presented,  especially  as  they  relate  to  health  and  safety  issues.  Chapter  26  deals  specifically  with  the  physiological  changes  associated  with  aging  that  can  impact  the  acute  and  chronic  adaptations  to  exercise  training  in  older  adults.  Specific  programming  guidelines  for  older  adults  are  presented  that  focus  on  maximizing  the  enjoyment,  safety,  and  effectiveness  of  training  programs  for  this  population.
