As we get older, our bodies change. Muscle size and strength decrease primarily due to
inactivity. Bone mass and density decrease, increasing the susceptibility to fractures.
Tendons and ligaments become less elastic, making it easy to get overuse injuries. Joint
inflammation and cartilage degeneration often occur due to arthritis.
Thirty minutes of physical activity a day can help individuals feel good, and prevent
some medical conditions. Even individuals with chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis
and osteoporosis can benefit from a balanced fitness program.
Here are some exercise tips developed by the American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons for individuals with osteoarthritis, low back pain, osteoporosis or total joint
replacement.
