关于中老年锻炼

力量和有氧训练的好处,特别对中老年人:(中国的老年人通常没有力量训练的概念有很多中国老人练习太极拳,但根据我的观查,太极拳的训练不能很好的解决老年肌肉丧失的问题) *降低患冠心病的风险,以及改善突发性心脏病(heart attack)后的恢复。*降低患代谢性疾病,如糖尿病的几率。*降低患高血压病的几率。*降低血脂。*重建由于老年化而丧失的肌肉和力量。(中国的老年人好象没有力量训练的习惯和概念,好象老了丧失劳动力是一件天经地义的事)*减少体内脂肪,改善形体。*提高新陈代谢,帮助维持健康的平衡。*通过加强肌肉,降低腰脊疼痛*减轻关节炎的痛苦,促进更大的灵活性。*通过负重练习提高骨质密度,预防骨质疏松。*降低患结肠癌的风险*提高自信,改善外观,减轻忧郁症。 下面是一些美国老年人的锻炼榜样:(你到了60, 70岁会怎么样?)(照片和类容取自"Fit over 40, Role Models For Excellence At Any Age by Jon Benson & Tom Venuto)
