European Review of Aging and Physical Activity (EURAPA) offers a global forum to advance understanding of the relationships between aging and physical activity across biomedical and behavioral sciences. With a dynamic scope, the open access journal encompasses topics spanning basic physiology, exercise science, brain and cognition, clinical & health sciences, gerontology, ethics and philosophy, and research methods. EURAPA is proud to be the official journal of the European Group for Research into Elderly and Physical Activity (EGREPA).

Background The body of evidence related to the effect of physical activity monitor-based interventions has grown over the recent years. However, the effect of physical activity monitor-based interventions in older adults remains unclear and should be systematically reviewed. Objective The objective of this systematic review was to estimate the effect of physical activity monitor-based interventions...

Background The traditional evaluation of gait in the laboratory during structured testing has provided important insights, but is limited by its “snapshot” character and observation in an unnatural environment. Wearables enable monitoring of gait in real-world environments over a week. Initial findings show that in-lab and real-world measures differ. As a step towards better understanding these gaps,...

Background During the aging process, physical capabilities (e.g., muscular strength) and cognitive functions (e.g., memory) gradually decrease. Regarding cognitive functions, substantial functional (e.g., compensatory brain activity) and structural changes (e.g., shrinking of the hippocampus) in the brain cause this decline. Notably, growing evidence points towards a relationship between cognition...
