Balance Exercises for Seniors!
With the aging process, a loss of balance is normal. To alleviate this loss, physical activity and specific exercises are essential.
Is standing on one foot a balance exercise? Sure, but we can increase the complexity (and the engagement of the senior) by putting extra tasks like: on one foot, throwing a ball. The focus changes and it's much more fun than just standing on each foot for a minute, for example. We can vary the size of the ball, vary the hands (playing with two hands, one hand, non-dominant hand) pass around the body, among many other variations.
Make your class more dynamic and fun for them 😄

The Stroop test was developed in 1935 by John Ridley Stroop and has been widely used as a neuropsychological test to assess selective attention and aspects of executive functions, such as cognitive flexibility and susceptibility to interference, related to frontal lobe dysfunctions (Doyle, Biederman, Seidman, Weber, & Faraone, 2000; MacLeod, 1991; Strauss, Sherman, & Spreen, 2006).

The test consists of having a set of coloured cards with a mismatching colour name written on each of the. e.g. a Red coloured card would have the word “Blue” written on it.

The appraisee has to say the name of the colour, not the word.

Despite being a test, it can be used as training, especially for the elderly. We can just do the Stroop exercise by itself or we can add some movement (squats for example) while the elder speaks the colours, and even set a time limit for the elder to answer the colour question for a given card. It will all depend on the cognitive level of the person we’re working with.

This exercise focus on the Working Memory, the ability to concentrate and inhibition of stimuli. All of this will stimulate to improve executive function.

Fall prevention exercises for seniors

Today we are going to talk about exercises to prevent falls in seniors.

One of the main causes of these accidents is the lack of strength in the lower body. The squat is one of the exercises for this scenario. Squats increase the strength of the lower body, which leads to better body stability.

Sometimes tho, senior falls are not related only to a lack of lower body strength, but a mix between that and the reduced cognitive capacity to perform two or more tasks at the same time, e.g. walking, keeping the balance and talking at the same time.

That said, it is very important to mix activities and exercises that help both the cognitive part and balance of the elderly.

So, let´s go to the tips:
1- Ask the elder to do a squat while balancing a small ball on his open hand.

2- Mix strength and cognitive exercises. Ask the elder to do simple math calculations while squatting. e.g. 40 – 30= 10 , 3 x 8= 24
etc.

3- Regressive countdown. Give the elder a random number, and ask him/her to perform a countdown from the given number while squatting. The higher the number, the more complex the exercise becomes, demanding more from the elder's cognitive capacity. The same can be used with the days of the week, letters of the alphabet etc.

Physiological factors of aging and falls.

The ageing process causes a series of changes in the body that reflects directly on the daily lives of individuals. These changes can directly interfere with the body functionality and the emotional and social state..


One of the factors we can highlight is hormonal changes, such as the decrease in hormone secretion from the endocrine glands. A change in body composition can also be noted, with a decrease in bone mass which can lead to osteoporosis, increasing the risk of fractures. It can also cause a decrease in lean mass (muscles), resulting in loss of strength, power and flexibility (stiffness)..

There is also a loss in the postural control system and a decrease in the speed of transmission of the nervous impulse by the afferent and efferent pathways. In addition to that, a longer time for processing information and taking action causes the elder’s overall reaction time to decrease considerably. Problems with visual acuity and possible chronic diseases may greatly increase the chance of falls in the elderly. But the good news is that exercise can ease most of these processes and greatly reduce the chance of a fall. The more active the person, the more likely he or she will avoid a future fall or even be able to respond quickly to an unexpected event..


Tomorrow we're going to talk about the exercises that can be done to prevent falls in the seniors.

Strength exercises for the seniors!
Basically strength exercise for seniors follows the same logic of the conventional strength training. But we have to adapt according to the level of each one. For example, the horizontal push exercise (flexion), many people do on the floor, others support the knee to make it easier, but these examples can be very difficult for seniors. Then when more we climbs the point of support from the hands less the action of gravity and like this we can find an ideal point that does not be easy or impossible to them 😉.

Individual or group training?

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, in the individual class you can make a totally specific plan for the elderly in order to develop their weaknesses with the full attention of the teachers and is more suitable for elderly people with a high degree of impairment or neurodegenerative diseases with advanced degree. ✅
In the group class, we encourage social contact with new friendships, the environment of cooperation among the elderly and even a certain "competitiveness" at the time of the exercise (sometimes an exercise that the elderly finds impossible to do, when seeing a colleague doing it feel more motivated to perform too). 😁
Well, my opinion is, if the elderly person has no commitment that they need individual care, whenever possible encourage classes with other elderly people, because in addition to the physical benefits of exercise, the interaction among participants brings benefits in mental and social health.

Always look for a specialist to look after you.

Dynamic equilibrium assessment to predict risk of falls in the elderly.

Time Up and Go!
Less than 10 seconds: low risk of falling
Between 10 and 20 seconds: medium Fall Risk
Above 20 seconds: high risk of falling
Let's do it?
Knows some elderly (father, mother, vô, grandmother, neighbor, etc)
Do with them and comment here 😁
Ps. Always remembering that physical education and physiotherapy professionals are more trained to carry out this test and every person should be fully evaluated preferably in a biopsychosocial approach.

Aerobic exercises for seniors:

Adaptations of traditional aerobic exercise for seniors:

We know that many times the elderly do not have the ability to run, jump, they have lost functionality so it is necessary to adapt exercises, I will be showing some exercises both standing and sitting.

First exercise:

First option is an adapted jumping jack.
Second option is a sitting jumping jack for a patient without much functionality.

Second exercise:

First option skipping standing up without taking your foot off the ground.
Second option skipping sitting, in this case as you are seated and has the impact control you can move your feet.

Third exercise:

First option squats down and touches the ground adapting the burpee without heels.
Second option sitting for seniors with a more compromised functionality.

Fourth exercise:

The burpee adapted on a higher surface, the higher the bench the easier and according to the ease of the elderly can put it on a lower surface.

I hope you guys like these tips.😀👵😃

The importance of aerobic exercise for seniors.

Aerobic exercises stimulates cardiorespiratory capacity, which can be understood as the ability to capture, transport and use oxygen to use energy.
The lower the aerobic capacity in elderly individuals, the greater their difficulty in performing basic activities of daily living (Lima et.al 2005)
Aerobic exercise is also key to preventing diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, lowers LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and osteoporosis. As well as providing several other health benefits.
But the most interesting and lesser talked about fact so far is the relationship between aerobic exercises and people's mental health. There is a large body of evidence that aerobic exercise prevents and even helps in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons. (Deslandes et al., 2009)
Tomorrow we will talk about examples of aerobic exercises adapted for the elderly audience

Always look for a specialist to look after you.
