In this chapter, we provide an overview of key issues that demonstrate how physical activity and inactivity have come to be recognised as core concerns in relation to growing older. We draw attention to three strands of research within this domain – resistance to decline, sedentary behaviour, affect and pleasure - which have much to offer our understanding of the paradoxes and tensions regarding physical activity policy and promotion. Finally, we offer a number of future directions that researchers committed to focusing a critical spotlight on physical activity policies and practice may wish to pursue.
