It is clear that clinicians transform lives in the context of rehabilitation, but how can clinicians continue to positively influence patients once they leave rehabilitation and potentially enter into fitness. Group fitness has been shown to be beneficial for older persons in many health outcomes. Clinicians have a tremendous opportunity to ensure success for their patients as they enter into fitness. In this article, we discuss considerations and tactics for clinicians to maximize the potential for their patients’ success in group fitness.

通过团体健身改变生活

This article reviews the historical development of aerobic conditioning. The many physiological effects of aerobic conditioning are presented including the effects on cardiovascular, muscular, and neuromuscular health leading to increased physical endurance and increased lifespan. Aerobic exercise prescription follows the frequency, intensity, time, and type, as well as the volume and progression principles. Frequency recommendations are at least 3 d/wk and 3 to 5 d/wk appears to be conducive to meeting overall physical activity recommendations. Intensity determination is based on several methods that include heart rate methods, ratings of perceived exertion (Borg and OMNI), the talk test, and the counting talk test. Time recommendations include at least 150 to 300 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 to 150 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activities. Type recommendations include any aerobic activities involving major muscle groups used in a continuous or intermittent manner. Volume recommendations include ≥500 to 1000 metabolic equivalent minutes per week and approximately 150 min/wk of moderate-intensity activity. Progression recommendations include the gradual advancing of the exercise duration, frequency, and intensity, making sure that the progressions allows for the best adherence to aerobic exercise on an ongoing basis. The benefits of aerobic exercise have been shown to be important for every aspect of living a healthy lifestyle across the age span, particularly for aging adults, adults with chronic conditions, and adults with disabilities.

Aerobic Conditioning in Geriatric Rehabilitation

老年康复中的有氧训练

Compared to their sedentary peers, older track athletes demonstrate a superior ability to negate the normal age-related changes in gait mechanics known to attenuate maximal walking speed performance with age. Sports-specific exercises commonly utilized to affect this end may be appropriately scaled to benefit a wider subset of older adults. Optimal dosing of resistance training to maximize gluteus maximus functional fitness, accompanied by gait reeducation to augment motor patterns facilitating optimal peak trailing leg extension and push-off intensity, create a redundancy in walking capacity likely to prolong functional independence for beneficiaries of this targeted intervention.

Dosing and Specificity of Training to Sustain Maximal Walking Speed in Highly Mobile Older Adults

高移动性老年人群维持最大步行速度的训练剂量与特异性

The physical processes that contribute to balance may decline as humans age. In exercise-based balance training, the most effective intervention for improving balance and falls-reduction among older adults, the type of exercise is set first, then intensity, then time. Clinical decision making about type of exercise program is based on examination and assessment of the person, including their goals and contributing impairments. Intensity is poorly reported, but 2 tools to measure and modulate intensity have been developed. Time component recommendations vary: most common are 2 to 3 times per week for 30-45 min for 12 weeks.

Dosing Balance Training for Older Adults

老年人剂量平衡训练

Physical activity is a powerful intervention that addresses physiologic and functional changes stemming from age, pathology, as well as recovery from injury and illness. However, only 9% of older adults complete the recommended amounts and types of physical activity weekly. This article provides a step-by-step process for initiating a physical activity program with individuals who are starting from a baseline of little to no activity. In addition, this article reviews quantifying baseline levels of physical activity, identifying what matters most, determining readiness to perform physical activity, developing goals, creating an action plan, addressing barriers, assessing self-efficacy, and follow-up for challenges.
