Why exercise at age 50+
Exercise as we age is crucial for maintaining health and quality of life. Physical performance naturally decreases with age, but regular exercise can slow down this process and counteract many age-related problems. Sport promotes muscle strength, improves mobility and helps maintain balance - factors that significantly reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
In addition, physical activity in old age supports the cardiovascular system, stabilizes blood pressure and can prevent diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. But mental health also benefits: exercise can reduce stress, improve mood and even reduce the risk of depression. Social aspects of sport, such as training together in groups, also promote a sense of community and help prevent isolation and loneliness
