  To compete in the World Senior Games, most participants participate in a routine of strength exercises and  senior balance exercises  that are specific to their sport. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now World Senior Games participants are a group of older adults who have largely embraced a physically active lifestyle. In 1987, the World Senior Games began with the aim to encourage greater physical activity among older adults by providing a place where they could compete in a number of athletic events and socialize with fellow participants. Since that time, the Games have been held each year over a 2-week period in early October in St. George, Utah. The Games offer 26 events and have grown to include more than 10,000 participants each year from the United States, Canada, and other countries. To prepare for the Games and to compete at top levels, many participants undergo daily routines of strengthening exercises and senior balance exercises.

Senior Balance Exercises For Sporting Events

   Older athletes have found that combining cardiovascular fitness exercises and strengthening exercises with a series of senior balance exercises helps to enhance their athletic performance. Many of the participants in the world senior Games enjoy  biking, jogging, swimming, walking to help them get in shape for their competitions. Most athletes know that fine tuning their performance can come from adding certain stability exercises to their program to maximize their performance. As an example, adding a single leg stance exercise assists in developing fast and strong balance reactions at the feet and ankles, which helps with stability during all movement activities. You can learn the necessary senior balance exercises to better your steadiness and athletic performance by following the instruction of a dedicated Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
