The older adult workforce needs to be activated,
reeducated, or retrained to new areas of work or
competencies. Research supporting the belief that
senior adults can be revitalized and used for more
productive years in the workforce by keeping thier
bodies as well as their minds in shape would be a
significant contribution to society as a whole.
Despite the growing understanding of the influence
of health, exercise, education, personality, and
social status on cognitive aging, a lack of theories
exist relating the knowledge of such influences on
congnitive aging to theories of biological aging.
(Antsy, Stankov, & Lord, 1990) Understanding that
exercise influences the cognitive area of aging is
important. Retirement creates a new dilema for
older
adults. Some adults, for the first time, have free
time or time to do what they want to do. This free
time could be used to start another vocation. When
retirementage comes, they need to have the option
and encouragement that they are still marketable and
prospective employees and that a totally new
vocation is possible.
