Body Hacking: Using Exercise Physiology to Slow Aging with Anne Friedlander
Body Hacking: Using Exercise Physiology to Slow Aging with Anne Friedlander
Physical activity is a powerful medicine that can promote health and change the trajectory of aging. However, in the modern world, we have drifted away from incorporating physical activity into our lives. As the barriers to daily movement have gotten stronger, the burden to exercise has gotten greater. As scientists learn more about the pathways of disease, the causes of aging and the mechanisms by which exercise exerts its benefits, we can develop targeted exercise strategies that can slow (i.e. “hack”) the aging process. In this session, we will discuss how physical activity can slow aging and how different types and amounts of activity can optimize desired health and fitness outcomes.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Anne Friedlander is an adjunct professor in human biology where she teaches classes in exercise physiology and applied science. She has broad research experience in the areas of enhancing human performance, environmental physiology, and using physical activity to promote healthy aging. Professor Friedlander feels passionate about the benefits of movement on aging and health and specializes in giving talks translating scientific findings into practical applications for people.

Thank you for sharing this with us!
Superb. Thank you so much. Age 79, BA ’64, MA ’65, former endurance athlete, now unfit and looking to be filled with the facts about exercise.
This was a very eye opening, great suggestions to exercise and activity.
The science and practicality of this talk is fantastic. Thank you!
Great Presentation.
Great learning module, thanks.
This is great! Thanks so much. I am going to apply the learnings and share with friends and family.
Can you please share the blue colored mentioned videos and other important links that were mentioned in the Video
I am here because of Professor Maya Adam’s recommendation. This video is so informative and answered some of my burning questions regarding exercise. Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you so much for this! Inspirational!
Can anyone please summarize some of the main points for those who don’t have 1+ hrs to listen?
I am so glad I found out about this video. Learned so much that it made me sweep our yard immediately. 😅
Looking forward to learning more!
This is brilliant! Thank you so much! 🙂
Question: can a person who is not a Stanford student (nor lives in the US) get access to those lessons you mentioned? It was actually Coursera that sent me this link and I’d love to explore more.
a high energy presentation that is both scientific and inspirational…. well done!
This was a terrific talk! Informative and actionable. Thank you Professor Friedlander and Stanford Alumni Association!
