As a starting guide for an elderly, determine if it is possible to exercise.
More things to consider before starting to exercise are as follows.
Kidney function Kidneys are the organs that filter metabolic waste from the blood and excrete the waste through urination.
The healthy elderly's kidneys will remain healthy given that he doesn't have any disease that can cause any damage to his kidneys.
A bodybuilder's kidney will also stay healthy if he never has any diseases that can potentially damage his kidneys.
Even if a person donates one of his kidneys, his kidney is strong enough to filter and excrete metabolic waste.
However, if the kidneys are damaged due to hypertension, diabetes, infections, or kidney stones, its ability to function well will decline.
The damage often happens slowly and becomes more apparent at severe stages.
Brain cognitive Thomas Aquinas divided human behavior into two distinct categories: cognitive and affective.
The first category is about how he sees the world and the second is more about feeling and emotion.
The decline of cognitive ability in elderly does not always occur.
Most of the cases are caused by dementia, Parkinson, stroke, etc.
Some of those conditions are preventable by exercising regularly.
Ability to see and hear Aging affects human ability to see and hear.
Some diseases related to the abilities in elderly are cataract, diabetes, and hypertension.
The decline in seeing and hearing ability must be taken into account when planning an exercise routine for an elderly.
The most important thing is to prevent them from falling.
Young people with good vision can notice the visual cues of falling which an elderly with impaired vision doesn't have.
People with osteoporosis can gain many benefits from moderate intensity exercise.
The use of moderate weight in exercise can help maintain muscle strength and increase bone density as a defense against osteoporosis.
The intensity of exercise must be customized based on how severe the osteoporosis is.
Wrong weight exercise can increased the risk of bone fracture.
It is suggested that they take calcium and vitamin D supplements to strengthen their bones.
Stroke patients may experience more challenges in exercise.
People who have suffered from stroke are often paralyzed on one side.
If those body parts stay inactive for a long time, their muscles get smaller and weaker permanently.
At the beginning, the paralyzed body parts are passively trained (moved by another person).
After some time, the paralyzed body parts will be actively trained gradually.
People who have suffered from mild to medium stroke can recover from it by exercising intensively.
