   Medical researchers across the globe have been proving that healthy lifestyles for those in the aging population can be  found through a combination of staying physically fit, eating healthy foods and practicing senior balance exercises to reduce the risk of falling and sustaining an injury from a fall. Please see more information at  http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now As the world population ages, medical scientists have been putting more emphasis on studying what keeps older individuals healthy and independent in their later years. In addition to American and British researchers, Soviet medical scientists have published studies on the aging population. Goer, I.Y. in his study, "Physical Activity and Aging- A Survey of Soviet Literature," investigated the benefits of staying physically active in later years of life. Gore and other Soviet researchers found that the human organism remains highly functional and adaptive as long as it is given suitable challenges to which it can respond. These Soviet researchers stated that when this occurs, there are positive effects on the adrenals, blood chemistry, carbohydrate metabolism, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, and the Nervous system. As a result, these researchers as well as healthcare professionals recommend that older individuals continue to participate in physically active events in their golden years. Medical providers, however, also suggest that individuals in the aging population perform certain senior balance exercises on a regular basis to boost their steadiness with all fitness activities.

Senior Balance Exercises To Stay Upright

     Healthcare professionals have demonstrated that the most effective way to limit the potential of a fall is to rehearse senior balance exercises every day. Some of the components of an adequate equilibrium program include learning specific steadiness strategies, developing strong trunk and leg muscles through strengthening exercises and rehearsing certain balance exercises for seniors. The lower extremity muscles most needed for exceptional balance include the front thigh muscle, quadriceps, the calf muscle, gastrocnemius. Furthermore, the most essential trunk muscles that help with steadiness are the, paraspinal muscles along the back and abdominal muscles in the front. Strong leg and trunk muscles should be complimented with strong and fast balance reactions at the feet and ankles for adequate equilibrium. Having fast and responsive balance reactions help your feet and ankles adapt to any changes in the terrain that you are walking on. Furthermore, it is essential to practice dynamic balance exercises that improve a person's ability to control and shift their body weight safely. These specific steadiness techniques and senior balance exercises can be practiced on a daily basis by following the direction of an experienced Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
