Children and adolescents fitness levels; 2. Fitness training in the elderly; 3. Pathology prevention through fitness training; 4. Training through Fitness activities. RESULTS: This review pointed out the fact that nowadays there is a large variety of fitness activities available within gyms and fitness centers.
