There are no special sports for the elderly to exercise. Generally, choose sports with many muscle groups, low exercise load intensity and relatively weak resistance. At the same time, they should decide sports according to their personal hobbies. Such as: walking, jogging, cycling, Tai Ji Chuan, softball, swimming, aerobics, ball games, etc. Outdoor exercise is mainly low-intensity aerobic exercise, and it is not advisable to choose excessive, too fast and strenuous exercise. Because degenerative joint diseases are common in the elderly, it is necessary to pay proper attention to controlling joint load when climbing mountains and stairs in winter.

What should the elderly pay attention to in winter exercise?

1, pay attention to air quality.

Whether the surrounding environment is suitable for exercise, such as the weather is too cold, too cold or the air pollution is too serious, and the visibility is not good, so exercise is not recommended.

2. Warm-up activities should be fully done before exercise.

In winter, the temperature is low, muscles are more sticky than in summer, and the resistance between muscles and joints increases. If you don't warm up, the exercise system is prone to muscle strain and joint injury in a "cold and sticky" state.

3, exercise should pay attention to safety.

Try to choose your familiar route for exercise, and choose some environments with relatively good lighting conditions for exercise.

4. Be fully prepared for exercise.

Old people should not only warm up well in winter sports, but also wear loose, comfortable clothes that are easy to increase or decrease. Moreover, it is best for the elderly to exercise together, not to act alone, and to bring communication equipment.
