Now a lot of older people do not have any particularly suitable way of exercise, many people feel that they have nothing to do when they go to dance a square dance or something is a very good way of exercise, but whether from the amount of exercise or the promotion of the body point of view, the square dance is not a very good choice of exercise.
But other sports for the elderly, either with a high risk factor, or in the exercise of skills difficult to master, or exercise in the more troublesome need a lot of conditions.
Now our country is still not a lot of sports venues, so want the elderly to carry out reasonable physical exercise is actually a certain degree of difficulty, but there is no one sport can help our body in a healthy state, there is no one sport is very suitable for the elderly?
The answer is running, running is the most suitable for the elderly sports, every day adhere to the long-distance running for the elderly is particularly beneficial, in some ways, the elderly will get more benefits than young people.
The first advantage of the elderly adhere to running, running without any limitations. Nowadays, many sports have more limitations, for example, when you are playing basketball, you first need a basketball, and then you have to have a basket, even if you don't need a standard basketball court, baskets are not very easy to find in life.
And the risk of injury is higher with basketball, older people have brittle bones, some have osteoporosis, and this leads to a higher incidence of fractures in older people, often a fall or a collision, and a fracture.
Football is also like this, we can say that we have contacted all the ball sports have such a problem, you see soccer is not often people injured, you look at badminton and tennis, but also often people muscle strain or fall.
And running does not have such limitations, you want to run out of the door to run is, you can choose according to your physical conditions of the appropriate running mileage, you can not run you can walk, walking is also a very good way to exercise.
The second advantage of running for the elderly, running can promote the health of bones and internal organs. Especially when running outdoors, it can promote the body's absorption of calcium and phosphorus, which is too good to be true for the value of the elderly.
Many older people assume that their osteoporosis is due to a calcium deficiency, but while most people's diets are not terribly deficient in calcium these days, a deficiency in vitamin D, which promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, is quite common.
The sun can help older people absorb vitamin D, and running stimulates the bones, which together can help increase bone density and make bones less fragile.
And running can promote the body's metabolism, the elderly fast aging internal organs also have some help, running when the right amount of pressure can promote heart and lung health.
The third advantage of running for the elderly, running can slow down the decline of body functions. Elderly people's body declines very quickly, and running is both the movement of the body's muscles and the movement of all parts of the body's internal organ system.
It can ensure that the body of the elderly is often subject to certain stimulation, get some strengthening, muscle movement can help reduce the rate of muscle strength decline, the movement of body functions can slow down the rate of decline of all parts of the body, which is too good to be true for the elderly.
The benefits of running are not comparable to sports like square dancing, so there is this time to dance, it is better to run, at least running does not disturb the people!
