OPTIMAL EXERCISE TO INCREASE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE ELDERLY IN RESIDENTIAL CENTERS

Abstract

What old age really is, how it manifests itself, and how it can be delayed, are questions that plague scientists who think about our purpose. Of course, we are not looking for answers to these questions, we just want to show that regular exercise positively influences the body that has reached this stage of life. Because aging is an irreversible process that we will all face at some point, the vast majority of individuals have difficulty transitioning from maturity to aging, because this process involves significant changes both physically and mentally and socially. People who go through this process may face a crisis, some of them even developing suicidal thoughts. Addressing this issue I want to contribute to the scientific substantiation of exercise programs designed for the elderly, who live in the specific conditions of residential centers. On the other hand, they want to contribute to the improvement of their quality of life by spending the best time in the center, amid awareness of the benefits of exercise. Consequently, in order to develop "tailored" exercise programs to suit the specific needs of the elderly, it is necessary to identify and classify biomarkers and behavioral markers regarding fitness, cognitive behavioral abilities and fragility of the elderly population to third.
