Human evolution suggests that the default position for health is to be physically active. Inactivity, by contrast, has serious negative effects on health across the lifespan. Therefore, only in physically active people can the inherent aging process proceed unaffected by disuse complications. In such individuals, although the relationship between age and physiological function remains complex, function is generally superior with health, well being, and the aging process optimized.
人类进化表明，健康的默认状态是保持身体活跃。相比之下，缺乏运动在人的一生中会对健康产生严重的负面影响。因此，只有身体活跃的人其内在的衰老过程才能不受废用性并发症的影响而持续进行。在这些个体中，虽然年龄与生理功能之间的关系仍然复杂，但总体而言，其功能更优，健康、幸福和衰老过程也得到了优化。
