Which old people are not suitable for running and fitness?
Running is the most cost-effective exercise, which not only makes the body stronger and stronger, but also is convenient and simple, and can be done at any time. But for some special elderly people, running may not be a good way to keep fit. Experts believe that the following elderly people are not suitable for running exercise.

First of all, men over 60 and women over 50, especially the fatter ones, are not suitable for running. Because once people reach this age, the body is in a state of gradual degradation, bones become brittle, muscles and ligaments become hard. If he runs and exercises, it is easy to cause injuries to his muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Secondly, elderly people with severe hypertension, heart disease, bronchitis and other diseases should not run. Because running itself will make the heart beat faster and blood pressure rise, and these people will increase their oxygen consumption when running, which will easily lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the blood, and hypoxia will induce myocardial infarction or cerebrovascular accident.

Finally, elderly people with hidden diseases should not run. Because running may induce potential diseases. For example, some old people have gallstones, but they have never been ill. Once they run or even jog, they may cause stones at the bottom of the gallbladder to fall to the neck of the gallbladder, thus causing colic.

Experts say that when people are old, the body is like a rusty machine, and excessive operation will only make the machine "fall apart". Therefore, running exercise is generally not recommended. It is more important for the elderly to "recharge their batteries", that is to say, in order to preserve their physical strength and energy, they can usually do more fitness methods that do not consume too much energy and physical strength, such as kung fu and gymnastics.
