Does a person\'s age affect which exercise would be better for them in terms of anaerobic or aerobic and their EPOC?

Solution

Yes, a person\'s age, sex and genotype determine the exercise suitable for them, which can be either aerobic, anaerobic and EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption).

Exercise is a training programme to the body to improve its performance in different aspects such as increased strength, flexibility, etc. The type of exercises must be chosen according to the basic needs of the body. For example, teenagers can perform strenuous exercises using high weights, jumping’s, twisting exercises, skipping, running, hopping, etc. Whereas in case of elderly people, sternous exercises with high weights is not suggested because the bone density decreases with age, particularly in case of post menopause women. Exercises that balance the nervous system such as yoga, Alexander technique, etc. are helpful for elderly people (because loss of balance in nervous system is responsible for many problems that we face at the old age). Strengthening exercises must be done only with light weights.   

For example, a person with more fat percent can burn more calories through the aerobic exercise, because it burns more calories from the fat. Similarly, physiological or disease status also affects the type of exercise suitable for a person. As the hormones released in response to stress such as cortisol and adrenaline vary with age, their effect on exercise also varies with age,
