residency training in Asan Medical Center Four domains of physical activity are
important to maintain physical function and prevent sarcopenia in the elderly
population. These are balance, stretching, cardiovascular exercise and strength
exercise. Although people know that physical activity is essential for better
health, not many people actually engage in regular physical activity. Lack of
willingness, limitation in time and space may all be the reason for lack of
physical activity. However, it is apparent that regular physical activity will
change one’s life in a positive way. Therefore, family physicians should
encourage their patients to engage in physical activity and maintain a healthy
life. This exercise demonstration will introduce exercises using one’s body
weight, which do not require certain equipment and minimize time and spatial
restrictions. These activities are practical, easy to follow, and also very
important. |
