Exercise in the elderly

Exercise is beneficial for people of all ages, including children, adults, and the elderly. The elderly are divided into two groups: those who have always exercised and those who have never exercised before.

Elderly people who have exercising all along should continue their current exercise routine if they do not experience any pain.

For the elderly who have never exercised before, and need to exercise for some reason, they should start gradually as follows:

1. If you are an elderly person without any underlying diseases, you can do any type of exercise, but start with 20 minutes a day and gradually increase the duration. The intensity of the exercise should be moderate.

2. For those who have never exercised before, it is recommended to start by walking briskly for 20 minutes a day, then move on to jogging. If there are no knee or back problems, you can ride a bicycle or swim, depending on the preferences of หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล each elderly person, except for the elderly who are 80 years old and above, walking a lot may not be suitable because there is a high chance of falling.

3. For patients with osteoarthritis, running is not recommended because it causes pain in the knee joints. The best exercises are walking or swimming. If you ride a bike, you have to adjust the bike to be high so that your knees do not bend too much. You should also not exercise on the ground.

4. In the group of patients with back pain, there will be fewer restrictions than in patients with osteoarthritis. If running does not cause back pain, then you can run. In the group with back pain, cycling, swimming, and aerobics are recommended. If after exercising, there is no more pain, then you can do everything.

The duration of exercise for the elderly is not clearly specified. It depends on the ability of each elderly person. However, if possible, it is recommended to exercise every day for at least 30 minutes.
