| Popis: | The global aging population presents economic, social, and cultural challenges, accentuated by the rise of age-related chronic conditions. Physical activity emerges as a crucial component for elderly well-being, countering sedentary lifestyles and comorbidities. Motivation, habit formation, and cultural integration are key to sustaining exercise behavior. Practices like yoga, tai chi, and qigong, deeply rooted in tradition, offer holistic benefits for the elderly. Research underscores their positive impact on physical and mental health, particularly in improving balance and reducing falls. However, awareness of their advantages needs amplification. To foster adoption and sustainability, targeted awareness campaigns, community programs, healthcare integration, intergenerational involvement, and accessibility enhancements are proposed. By combining these strategies, therapeutic exercises can be seamlessly integrated into elderly lifestyles, promoting long-term health and well-being. |
