Different Benefits of exercise to specific groups
Older Adults Bone loss/density
At the age of 35 is when the structure of our body becomes fully developed for example muscles and bones become fully grown a
better, then it is up to you to keep the bones the healthiest that you can.
Older people tend in lose more bone mass, which is called osteopenia, which is a loss of bone density. This makes bones much we
bone mass and they become thin which make them weak and fragile making it much easier to break them and injure the bone.
The benefit of exercise:
Thanks to exercise we can help the process to be slowed down, as we exercise for example doing free weights, speed walking, cyc
activities. We create micro-cracks were are a little crack in the bone and by doing this we are damaging the bone however not tha
But enough so that they can become stronger as we need calcium, calcium repairs the bone and fills the cracks, and makes a new
makes the bone much harder. Which if, it is done over a long period this will make the bone stronger which will slow down the pro
as the bone will be stronger and it will be less vulnerable to injury and losing bone density. Which is the benefit of exercise on lon
recommend to do it straight or take interest in doing a physical activity after the age of 35 so that you would be able to slow down
Osteopenia
Loss of balance
We don't end up just getting osteopenia when we get older, but we end up getting also Sarcopenia. Which is a loss of muscles wh
will lose type 2 muscles fibres as we get older because our body starts to deteriorate, however with exercising we can slow down
after the age of 35.
Benefits of exercise: When exercising we recommend that elder should not train for one-rep-max, or super intensity activities be
right intention to recruit more muscle fibres. However, if the elder is losing type 2 muscle fibres through the effect of Sarcopenia
down the muscle which will have a bigger impact on them.
Which will result in faster loss of muscle and could potential injure them as they already have weakened muscles and making the
example bench press max weight this will put a lot of pressure (tension) on their body and it could snap as the muscle was weak
resulting chest injured, which will need a long time to recover as they are older and for older people it takes much longer to reco
