Around 3.2 million deaths each year are attributed to physical inactivity as per WHO report. As the life expectancy increases, there is a trend in increasing chronic health conditions (hypertension Diabetes, Cardio Vascular disease etc.) and declining physical activity.
WHO guideline recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity physical activity is required for health benefits in older adults.
The exercise regime should include aerobic (cardio), strength training and also balance exercises.
Studies have shown that those who exercise have positive effect on their health. It is true even in case of those who have chronic health conditions like hypertension, Diabetes, Cardio vascular disease etc.
Governments around the world have begun to produce national guidelines for physical activity and health for older adults.
The main challenge is to find effective ways to support older adults to increase their physical activity and then to develop habitual physical activity behaviours.
Behavioural change plays a decisive role in getting someone to take to physical activity.
Regular exercise is a healthy habit and one requires belief and conviction to both acquire and maintain the healthy habit.
The role of health professionals in helping people to adapt healthy habit is invaluable.
