Area of Interest Wojtek's primary research interests are in the area of aging and physical activity. For the past fifteen years he has focused on the effect of exercise and physical activity on sensory, motor, and cognitive functioning in old age. In support of this research project, Dr. Chodzko-Zajko established on going longitudinal studies of exercise and aging at both Kent State University and the University of Alabama. Dr. Chodzko-Zajko served on the World Health Organization, Scientific Advisory Committee which issued Guidelines for Physical Activity in Older Adults. He also serves on the American College of Sports Medicine Strategic Health Initiative on Aging and Exercise. Dr. Chodzko-Zajko is Editor of the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity. He is also President of the International Society on Aging and Physical Activity. In 1999 he served as chairperson of the 5th World Congress on Physical Activity, Aging and Sports. As a result of his involvement with JAPA, the WHO and ACSM, Chodzko-Zajko is frequently invited to disseminate information about healthful aging as a keynote speaker in national and international meetings. Chodzko-Zajko has recently traveled to Korea, Iran, Oman, Japan, France, Belgium, Slovenia, Germany, Hong Kong and Israel in order to speak on topics related to aging and physical activity.
