  1. walking is the most basic movement of humans and is
  2. said to be one of the best methods to maintain
  3. and promote overall physical health and mental wellness.
  4. Last year, there was an abrupt reduction in activity levels
  5. in social isolation globally.
  6. This is a particular concern in older adults are typically
  7. a rescue being inactive and prone to frailty and subpoena
  8. similarly to other assisted living care communities.
  9. The adverse effects of COVID 19 has limited the amount
  10. of opportunities for physical activity and increase the amount of
  11. sedentary behavior due to isolation restrictions that can be detrimental.
  12. Health research, which demonstrated that just two weeks of in
  13. activity, or 75% reduction in the amount of daily steps
  14. taken, has been shown to decrease must strength by 8%.
  15. Unfortunately, short duration rehabilitation is ineffective in recovering muscle function,
  16. emphasizing the impact of abrupt reductions in physical activity in
  17. an already vulnerable population as an assistant living care community
  18. with an existing walking group.
  19. It is my recommendation that incorporating Nordic pool walking program
  20. is beneficial as aligns with the restrictions and cautions of
  21. COVID 19, while creating an opportunity to achieve aerobic exercise,
  22. resistance training and flexibility exercise.
  23. In addition to traditional aerobic walking, resistance, training emerges as
  24. a proven method to increase muscle mass strength and functionality
  25. of older adults to sustain and promote good health.
  26. It is recommended by the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines that
  27. individual 65 older ship reform 150 minutes per week of
  28. a variety of types and intensities of physical activity.
  29. The basis of walking is an everyday activity that does
  30. not require a lot of concentration, which is beneficial for
  31. the older adult population and can be inclusive to all
  32. cognitive abilities.
  33. Nordic walking is the use of adjustable poles that involve
  34. the upper body to propel forward with each stride.
  35. The technique of nautical walking engages muscle groups that are
  36. not normally activated during regular walking.
  37. It is a full body activity that has the ability
  38. to force the upper body used simultaneously with the lower
  39. body to promote the chest, to stay upgrade, expand the
  40. ribcage and increase oxygenation.
  41. The results of a randomized control study that reviewed a
  42. 12 week Nordic walking program demonstrated that the upper body
  43. strength is able to able to increase by 12.9% in
  44. aerobic exercise was able to increase by 5.6% within the
  45. walking group versus the control group.
  46. The polls have the ability to redistribute the body weight
  47. to remove the amount of excessive strain on knees and
  48. hips. Older adults are often anxious of falling.
  49. Therefore, the use of Nordic Poles promotes stability by increasing
  50. the points of contact with the ground.
  51. Similarly to jogging similar to jogging.
  52. Cardiovascular output occurs when there is activation of core muscles.
  53. Many older adults do not often participate in jogging as
  54. a form of activity.
  55. Therefore, narrative Paul Walking is an alternative comparable activity to
  56. achieve cardiovascular benefits.
  57. But the sequence of pushing down thanks a systematic review
  58. was completed on 11 different research studies to summarize the
  59. health benefits of Nordic walking.
  60. It became evident that Nordic Walking generates up to 6.3
  61. to 7.7 meds when walking at a brisk pace, whereas
  62. walking regular walking reaches 3.3 to 5.0 Metz, meaning that
  63. the amount of energy expended during Nordic pole walking can
  64. be almost double regular aerobic walking.
  65. Therefore, Nordic walking is proven to be a form of
  66. exercise that combines aerobic and strength exercises to benefit multiple
  67. factors of old.
  68. The overall health of older adults Physical activity is considered
  69. as a modifiable factor in successful aging, and that, with
  70. early intervention can reduce his civility and burdens on healthcare.
  71. According to 2000 and 14 statistics, individuals over the age
  72. of 60 were the least physically active, yet the number
  73. has increased significantly as a result of covid 19 restrictions.
  74. Nordic pool walking is an affordable form of exercise that
  75. only requires natural and simple movements.
  76. Research has identified a positive effect through the combination of
  77. aerobic resistance and flexibility.
  78. Exercise in Older Adults Found in Nordic Pool Walking pull
  79. walking is accessible, a pleasant activity for older adults and
  80. increasingly popular strategy to overcome sedentary lifestyles which is easily
  81. implemented into community organizations.
  82. Thank you.
