Why is exercise important to the organ systems?Many organs can benefit from exercise. Here are some of them:The Brain - Exercise can preserve your mental sharpness as you get older. A recent survey of over 65s shows that the people who exercised most have the least declined mental sharpness.The Brain - Exercise may increase the amount of brain cells in certain areas of your brain. Researchers found this happening in mice and are not yet sure if the same occurs in humans.The Bones - Regular exercise may also help older people avoid falling over and breaking bones. In one study, older women were assigned to a strength and balance exercise program. These women had fewer falls than women who didn't exercise.The Heart - Regular exercise benefits the heart. In many studies, their results showed that with regular exercise you may have a lower risk of heart-disease. Exercise is also known to bring down high blood pressure; this reduces the risk of a stroke.
Obesity in older people can exacerbate age-related health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and joint problems. It can reduce mobility, increase the risk of falls, and diminish overall quality of life. Managing weight through diet and exercise is important for maintaining health and independence in older age.
in a recent experiment i did i found that older people (30's to50's) are able to get more out of there exercise. where as a ten year old like me can only get so much because my muscles are still growing
