Seniors who exercise regularly experience less physical decline as they age
University of Missouri reportedly that older adults in retirement communities who reported more exercise experienced less physical decline that their peers who reported less exercise, although many adults even those who exercised did not complete muscle strengthening. The study shown that some of the adult who are age 65 remains inactive and fails physical activity guidelines (Science Daily, 2014) Also, they found that" who exercised more declined less" said Lorraine Phillips, an associate professor in the MU Sinclair School of Nursing ( Science Daily, 2014). One of the physical activities that residents do is light housework and walking, both of which are easily integrated into individuals daily lives. However, this type of exercise does not aid their muscle strength. They studied physical activity of 38 residents at Tiger Place four times in one year. First, they examine the residents walking speed. Second, their balance. Third, their ability to stand up after sitting in a chair. When they finished all the task, they compared the tests to the residents self reported participation in exercise. As a result, they found that residents who are doing more exercise had more success maintaining their physical abilities over time ( Science Daily, 2014)
