Adherence to Exercise Programs in Older Adults: Informative Report (open access)

Adherence to Exercise Programs in Older Adults: Informative Report

This article focuses on filling information gaps regarding adherence to physical activity and exercise in the health care spectrum of older adults (OA) and an overview of the benefits of physical activity for OA. Exercise adherence in OA is a multifactorial problem encompassing many biopsychosocial factors. Factors affecting adherence in the OA include socioeconomic status, education level, living arrangements, health status, pacemakers, physical fitness, and depression. Improving adherence could have a significant impact on longevity, quality of life, and health care costs.

Electrodynamics of superlattices with ultra-thin metal layers: quantum Landau damping and band gaps with nonzero density of states (open access)

Electrodynamics of superlattices with ultra-thin metal layers: quantum Landau damping and band gaps with nonzero density of states

This article develops a theory of electromagnetic transmission through dielectric-metal superlattices with ultra-thin metal films, in which electron motion in the direction perpendicular to the metal surfaces is quantized.
