EXERCISE IN THE ELDERLY
THE ROLE OF EXERCISE IN THE ELDERLY
a) In the young-old, exercise has much the same function as in the young:
- prevention of disease - maintenance of aerobic capacity
- maintenance of muscle strength - psychological well-being
b) In the old-old, exercise is still used for its preventive effects, but more often for:
- secondary or tertiary prevention - rehabilitation from pre-existing chronic conditions
c) Some of the most important goals of exercise in the frail elderly are:
- the improvement of muscle strength and endurance capacity to allow increased functional independence
Characteristics of study poplulation according to physical activity
Risk of disability according to physical activity
- the prevention of falls and fall- related injuries
- maintenance of fat-free mass
- cardiovascular reconditioning, treatment of peripheral vascular
- adjunctive treatment of depression, anxiety, isolation, insomnia, dementia
- rehabilitation from neurologic diseases
- increased survival
Crude and adjusted relative risk of mortality
Adjusted for gender and for all other possible risk factors for death (gender, physical and cognitive disability, cardiovascular diseases, pneumonia, cancer, stroke, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal failure, Parkinson’s disease, depression, delirium, and arthritis).
Preventive Medicine 47 (2008) 422–426
Crude and adjusted relative risks (RRs) of mortality in the Italian cohorts of the ilSIRENTE study, examined at baseline between 2003
and 2004 and after 24 months
Sedentary: subjects walking less than 1 h per day; Active: subjects walking 1 h or more per day.Adjusted for age, gender and for other possible risk factors for death (functional and cognitive disability, congestive heart failure, hypertension, osteoarthritis, depression, number of medications, body mass index, cholesterol and C reactive protein).

Which type of intervention?
1. Dynamic aerobic (endurance) exercise – running or walking
2. Dynamic resistance anaerobic (strength) exercise – weight lifting

For persons at moderate to high risk of cardiac events, RT can be safely undertaken with
proper preparation, guidance, and surveillance … given the extensive evidence of the benefits of aerobic exercise training on the modulation of cardiovascular risk factors, RT should be viewed as a complement to rather than a replacement for aerobic exercise.

Training - Guidelines
Fletcher et al. Circulation 2002
Frequency Intensity Duration ModalityEndurance training3–5 days/week 50%–70% max HR 20–60 min Lower extremity: walking,
jogging/running,stairclimberUpper extremity: arm ergometryCombined: rowing, cross-country ski machines, combined arm/leg cycling,swimming, aerobics
Resistance training2–3 days/week 1–3 sets of 8–15 RM Lower extremity: leg
for each muscle group extensions, leg curls, leg press, adductor/abductorUpper extremity: biceps curl, triceps extension, bench/overhead press.
Age-Associated Alterations in Physiological Response to Aerobic
Exercise• Reduced aerobic capacity: decline in V˙ O2
max of 8% to 10% per decade in nontrained populations
• Reduced maximal heart rate of 1 beat/min per year
• More rapid increase in systolic blood pressure with exercise
• Attenuated rise in ejection fractionFletcher et al. Circulation 2002
Classification of Physical Activity Intensity
Fletcher et al. Circulation 2002
MET=metabolic equivalents
1 MET = resting metabolic rate of 3.5 mL O2 * kg-1 * min-1

Exercise in the Elderly- Screening
• History• Physical• Cardiovascular reserve: get up and down
from the examination table, walking 15 m, climbing 1 flight of stairs, cycling in the air for 1 min while lying down
• ECG
Gill et al JAMA 2000
It is not necessary that all individuals beginning a moderate-intensity and moderately progressive exercise program undergo an exercise stress test, although this issue remains controversial.

Conclusions
1. People of all ages, both male and female, benefit from regular physical activity
2. Significant health benefits can be obtained by including a moderate amount of physical activity on most, if not all, days of the week
3. Additional health benefits can be gained through greater amounts of physical activity
Conclusions
4. Physical activity reduces the risk of premature mortality in general, and of coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and diabetes mellitus in particular
5. Both aerobic (endurance) and resistence training may influence health outcomes
6. Potential risks related to physical activity should be always considered
Søren Kierkegaard in 1847 in a letter to his sister in law who had just been ill.
”Do not give up your wish to walk. I walk every day and feel well and walk away from any illness. I have had my best thoughts while walking and I do not know of any thoughts so dark that I can not walk away from them…”
