ABSTRACT
Evidence suggests that regular physical activity is safe for both healthy and frail older adults. It can reduce the risk of major metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, obesity, falls, cognitive decline, osteoporosis, and muscle weakness. Activities can range from low-intensity walking to more strenuous sports and resistance training. Maintaining independence and preventing disease in older populations are two major benefits of regular physical activity, which has made active aging a fundamental strategy for living longer and better lives. The significance of encouraging mobility throughout life is emphasized in this research as a dependable means of maintaining wellbeing as
people age. Societies may foster healthier people that maintain their independence for longer by including physical activity into daily routines and portraying it as a lifetime habit rather than a treatment for old age. In addition to improving people's quality of life, this strategy lessens the overall financial strain of healthcare. For people who are severely deconditioned, functionally constrained, or have long-term illnesses that impair their capacity to do physical tasks, the initial level of physical activity intensity and duration should be minimal. Additionally, the activities' progression has to be
customized to each person's tolerance and preferences. An individual's chances of starting and sticking to a regular exercise and/or physical activity program will rise if behavioral change principles are incorporated into the planning and implementation of these programs. In this paper we will discuss. The Role of Physical Activity in Promoting Healthy Aging.
