As physical therapists from time to time, we may be faced with a patient who is resistant to the idea of being involved with exercise. When these moments occur, I want you to be ready by giving them solid evidence to explain why exercise is so important to start with that. After 45 years, muscle strength decreases 8-10% each decade of life and may decrease up to 30% in the eighth decade of life, if a person is not involved in resistance exercise.
The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that physical inactivity is the fourth major risk factor for death in the world. A recent study indicated that physical inactivity is a risk as high as those who sat more than one hour each day with increased risk of mortality. According to a 12-year study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, retired men who walked more than 2 miles a day lived longer than those who walked less than a mile a day.
related to evidence of disease prevention is that physical activity may be associated with a lower risk of several common cancers, including colon and breast cancer.People which have good function physical after age 40 can reduce their risk of stroke by nearly 50 percent compared to people who are not able to climb stairs, kneel, bend, or lift as well, according to a study published in the journal Neurology. In long-term Swedish women and men who were physically active study at least twice a week had a risk 41% lower for developing coronary heart disease than those who have done no physical activity.
Increased waist circumference proved to be a risk factor for many diseases. A study published in the International Journal of Obesity showed walking four hours or more a week reduced the risk of weight gain around the waist of 16% of women.
Those who think they have little time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness. ~ Stanley Edwards
