[The STAB:LE Program @stable_program]

EVERY older needs a progressive ankle-hip-step response:

✅ Forwards
✅ Backwards
✅ Sideways, &
✅ Ability to cross-&-step

Assessment & development of these essential movement skills should be prioritised

(they're needed everyday AND are foundations for functional tasks)

[The STAB:LE Program @stable_program]

If an older adult can only just stand up from a chair 5 times in a row?

Then every time they stand up they're working at an intensity equivalent of you doing a heavy squat at 85-90% of your 1RM several times every single day

👉 Strength training is the key to independence

My grandfather Dr. GS Kulkarni is 93 years old, he still works, studies and researches and most importantly he exercises for 45 mins to 1 hour everyday.

It is extremely important for our parents and grandparents to be active and perform strength training.
Exercise is important for older adults because it can improve their physical and mental health.

Active people have lower mortality rates compared to inactive people.

People who met the minimum exercise recommendations (150-300 min/week moderate or 75-150 min/week vigorous) saw a significant reduction in mortality rates.

Adults who engage in aerobic and muscle strengthening activities show greatly reduced risk of all cause and cause specific mortality

Exercise is extremely important for cognitive health with numerous studies showing that exercise improves cognition and potentially prevents or delay cognitive decline.

Physical exercise can reduce global cognitive decline and lessen behavioural problems in people with MCI or dementia.

Physical activity was associated with a decreased incidence of cognitive impairment or decline

Exercise can also improve skin health, this one study found that exercise significantly improved skin elasticity upper dermal structure, and dermal thickness

Older adults should exercise under the guidance of a professional.
