Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Adulthood and old age involve huge biomechanical changes in the human body due to natural biological deterioration that takes place slowly and progressively during lifetime. In this context, the quality of life is directly related to how prepared we are to live longer because a price should be paid for it. Nevertheless, the speed of this process could vary from person to person, according to their genetics, nutrition, social behavior (sedentarism, smoking, alcoholism), and comorbidities such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, as well as psychological impairment, reflecting on the person’s behavior. This chapter aims to discuss the effects of ageing, physical performance, sarcopenia, the senescence of the metabolic axis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, as well as the importance of sports practice and regular physical activity in the adults and old age population. Moreover, the chapter will discuss the best strategy to design a customized plan for sports practice and/or physical activity according to the individual needs of this age group.
