6 TYPES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DANCING Physical activity in the form of dancing has various benefits for older adults, including developing and maintaining core postural support, balance, flexibility and increased physical endurance. Dancing is also a way of expanding one s social activity and community involvement. Various forms of dancing have the ability to build confidence levels in those who may be at risk of falls, as well as decreasing isolation and loneliness. (Alpert et al., 2009; McKinley et al., 2009) LEISURE Leisure groups listed within the directory include activities such as table tennis, indoor bowls, croquet, and billiards. Leisure is an important aspect of physical and mental health and social wellbeing. (Kielhofner, 2002) STRENGTHENING & GENTLE AEROBICS Strengthening and gentle aerobics have endless benefits for older adults and those with chronic illness. Research shows that strength training and gentle exercise classes have the ability to increase not only functional mobility and independence in all areas of daily living, but also increase balance, decrease blood pressure, lower the risk of stroke, increase bone density and prevent falls. (Howe et al., 2009) WALKING The benefit of attending walking groups includes building fitness and endurance under the supervision of walk leaders. Walking is a fantastic low cost option to physical activity and can be done in a social group environment or on your own. As well as both indoors and outdoors. (Praet et al., 2008) WATER EXERCISES Water exercises are especially good for older adults with joint problems such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or those who have general weight bearing difficulties. Water exercise requires you to support only 50 per cent of your body weight. Water exercises place little strain on joints, improves muscular tension, and increases energy levels. Water exercises are gentle on joints and have proven cardiovascular benefits as well as increasing muscular tone and flexibility. (Tsourlou et al., 2006) 2

7 TAI CHI / YOGA / PILATES Tai Chi is extremely valuable in promoting the health of older adults as well as improving concentration and overall well being. A branch of the Chinese martial arts, Tai Chi has been practiced for general health and fitness purposes since the 16th Century. Health benefits are derived from the slow, and gentle movements which relax the mind and body, improve mobility, and mental alertness. There is a large body of evidence surrounding the specific benefits of Tai Chi for older adults. Findings surrounding these benefits include decreased risk of falls and related injuries, decreased anxiety, increased positive mood and self esteem, increased cardio respiratory function, increased muscle strength, as well as increased flexibility, balance and core postural support. Yoga is aimed to unite the mind, body and spirit. It helps you become more aware of your body's posture and movement. Yoga makes the body more flexible and helps you relax even when you are stressed. Much research has been undertaken, looking at the health benefits of Yoga from the postures, to the breathing, and meditation. Some of the many benefits include; improved balance, sleep, endurance, posture, joint range of motion and energy, as well as other physiologic responses such as decreased blood pressure, respiratory rate and improved cardiovascular function.
