exercise in the elderly
The ultimate goal of any exercise program is transition to ensure compliance
and adherence. One means of accomplishing this goal is to offer varied,
low-cost programs in environments that are close to individuals’ homes. Many
physical therapy centers offer membership at a low rate for use at their gyms;
senior centers have exercise classes, and community gym memberships may
offer discounts to elders. Researchers have also noted strength gains using Tai
Chi group exercise programs, which have the added benefit of providing social
activity [3].
