App helps seniors stay active
|
For older adults, staying active isn’t just about fitness—it’s the key to a longer, healthier life. Yet barriers like fear of injury, chronic conditions, and low energy often keep them from moving as much as they should. A new fitness app created by UTA researchers aims to change that by making exercise safer, easier, and more accessible.

You can almost hear the roar of the crowd, the crack of the bat, and the smell of freshly cut grass as you look at the latest donation to UTA Libraries' Special Collections: a UTA Mavericks Baseball uniform and team jacket from the 1970s. The uniform and jacket not only tell the story of UTA baseball, but also of a single player, Gary Bearden.
