Homeostatic Equilibrium (Biological Housekeeping Mechanisms) Physical Function Mood Cognition • Specific Interactive Mechanisms • Including • Underlying Physiological Mechanisms • “Use or Lose” Mechanisms” • Changes in Behavioral and Social Constraints Walking
A Bioenergetic HYPOTHESIS 1. The dysregulation of one or more elements of the network of mechanisms that maintain a stable homeostasis have negative effects on physical function, cognition and mood; 2. Such dysregulation may trigger a contro-regulatory response aimed at slowing down the human machine (principle of Maximum Efficiency). As a side effect, these events trigger a vicious cycle that leads to accelerated functional decline. Walking
