Ageing and Exercise: A Journey to Active Ageing
Synopsis
This book aims to transform the aging process into a healthy one through active management. It addresses aging theories, the distinction between physical activity and exercise, and physical fitness components such as balance, strength, flexibility, and reaction time, supported by scientific data. Emphasizing modern exercise methods like Pilates, it offers strategies for reducing fall risk, managing osteoporosis, enhancing quality of life, promoting social integration, and preserving cognitive performance. Falls are examined as multifactorial; multimodal exercise programs are recommended for prevention. The book provides practical guidance for older individuals to maintain their independence and promotes the super-aging model.
