Sports and Aging
In Sports and Aging a wide-ranging group of physically
active people, including many scholar-athletes, fifty years and
older, discuss sports in the context of aging and their own
athletic experiences. This collection of personal accounts includes
a spectrum of contributors across genders, social classes, and
racial, ethnic, national, religious, and educational backgrounds to
determine whether there are any common characteristics that can
promote long, happy, healthy, and meaningful lifespans. In this
fresh look at the role of sports in the process of aging,
contributors range from a ninety-six-year-old great-grandmother to
a former Olympian. Many contributors have used education to better
their lot in life or to find solace and meaning in the service of
others. For all, sports or physical activity has enhanced their
health and temperament and provided a sense of community.
