It is good for the elderly to keep running.

What are the benefits of running for the elderly

1. Improve sleep quality

By running, the blood and oxygen supply to the brain can be increased by 25%, which will also improve the quality of sleep at night.

2. “Ventilation” function

During running, the average capacity of the lungs increases from 5.8 liters to 6.2 liters. At the same time, the amount of oxygen carried in the blood will also increase greatly.

3. The "pump" power is greatly increased

During exercise, the frequency and efficiency of heart beating are greatly increased, and the elasticity of heartbeat, blood pressure and blood vessel wall also increase.

4. Stay stable

Regular jogging exercises will strengthen the injury resistance of tendons, ligaments and joints, reducing the chance of sports injuries. At the same time, skin, muscles, and connective tissue can also become stronger.

5. Stay young

Regular exercise increases the secretion of growth hormone HGH and can delay aging.

Elderly people should pay attention to these things when running

1. Anyone who runs knows that they will consume some physical strength and energy just after running. The elderly are different from young people. The elderly cannot consume it after a certain age, so running slowly, preferably walking, ordinary walking will not consume physical strength and energy, but will also give you physical exercise. It is best to go out for a walk in the park after 5 pm.

2. No matter what method the elderly use to exercise, they should not move too much. As long as the various joints of the limbs are moved, it is the best exercise.

3. The distances run by poor, good and excellent people over 50 years old every 12 minutes are divided into less than 1.5 kilometers, 1.6-2.4 kilometers and more than 2.5 kilometers.

4. Diabetic patients are not suitable for running, because even a small injury during running can be infected. If you insist on running, you should be more careful during the process and do not run too fast.
