Looking for Research on Working out after 60

So far it has been slow going but I did find a mini gold mine this morning on google at the website be fit over 50. Here are a couple of paragraphs from the blog:

There is a large body of scientific evidence that suggests that we can slow down and even reverse the symptoms of aging. In fact many of us can be in better health in our 70's than we were in our 50's.

Recent studies indicate that between the ages of 30 & 70 many of the symptoms & conditions that were traditionally associated with normal aging are in fact the result of sedentary lifestyles.


As I read deeper, there were several citations and it seems there are researchers out there looking at older people and their exercise habits. I am going to look deeper into this because a quote on that same blog reflects one of my strong beliefs, "You are never too old to benefit from exercise."
