Death comes as the end result of old age. Every organism grows, attains maturity and then becomes old and senile. With the advancement of age after maturity the body of an individual undergoes certain gradual changes. These are decline in the metabolic efficiency, the power of replacing the worn out cells, repairing the damaged tissue, organs and organ system which become functionally inefficient, all living organisms live through a span of time and then die. Some live for a long period and some for not so long. Some may die very young while some may continue on for centuries. It is believed that Hydra is an exception, is an immortal creature being not subjected to ageing.(Interstatial cells,(Brein 1952. Exceptional injuries are common among the elderly, and are connected mostly with degenerative aging processes. Acute injuries are common in those elderly people participating in sport activities which demand high coordination, reaction time, and balance capabilities, such as ball games, down-hill skiing, and gymnastics. Muscle has been reported to be the most commonly acutely injured tissue among active elderly athletes.. In treating elderly people, it is most important to avoid the detrimental effects of immobilisation; this requires active treatment and rehabilitation with compensatory exercise therapy. The best 'treatment' for sports-related injuries is prevention. Good agility, technical skills, and cardiovascular and musculoskeletal fitness are important in injury prevention among the elderly.
