What aerobic exercises are suitable for the elderly?

People are alive because of oxygen. Oxygen is very important. We are very short of oxygen during exercise. So no matter it is children or the elderly, we must have a scientific method to deal with their daily eating or exercise habits. We all know that nowadays exercise is more inclined to aerobic exercise. Everyone knows that aerobic exercise is the healthiest exercise. So today let’s discuss with you what aerobic exercises are there for the elderly?

Brisk walking: Brisk walking refers to walking exercises that reach a specified intensity and time, thereby exercising the cardiopulmonary function and regulating the immune function. It is suitable for all ages, the simplest and most persistent aerobic exercise, and is known as the "mother of exercises." When walking, the lower limbs support the body weight, and the bones, joints, and muscles of the upper and lower limbs coordinate with other parts of the body so that each part is exercised; at the same time, the myocardial contraction is strengthened, the cardiac output is increased, and the blood flow to various tissues is increased. Taking a walk every day has a positive effect on improving cardiopulmonary function and delaying degenerative changes in the lower limb joints.

Jogging: Jogging, also known as fitness running, is an aerobic exercise method that involves a longer time, slow speed and longer distance. This sport has simple technical characteristics and is not restricted by venues or equipment. It can be practiced in stadiums, roads, woods, parks, and country paths. It is one of the most commonly carried out events in my country's mass sports activities. For middle-aged and elderly people, jogging can not only improve speed, endurance, agility, coordination and other athletic qualities, but also delay the aging of motor organs and internal organs, maintain vigorous energy and strong physical strength. It is a good way to prolong life, strengthen the body and prevent diseases.

Tai Chi: As a traditional Chinese sport, Tai Chi has been proven to be a good fitness exercise in long-term practice, and it is also an exercise prescription for preventing and curing diseases. When practicing Tai Chi, one should "use the mind without exerting force" and "the body follows the mind". The mind guides the movements. At this time, the cerebral cortex not only has the motor function

Except for the central nervous system and the second signaling system which are highly excited, most areas of the cortex are in a state of widespread inhibition. The negative induction of the motor center excitation on the surrounding areas can inhibit the pathological excitement of chronic diseases, thereby alleviating or even curing the original disease.

It is our responsibility to care for the elderly. If the elderly want to exercise healthily, they must have scientific practices, good habits, and a good method. What's even better is to eat well, get nutrition from food, and exercise every day. Over time, they will strengthen their muscles and bones and have a healthy old age. Remember to pay attention to your own safety.
