Older Adult (> 60 years)All older adults should meet the guidelines listed above for adults in addition to the recommendations below. Balance, agility, mobility, coordination, and reaction time exercises should be performed by persons experiencing a diminished capacity in these areas of function. Physical activity level should be increased more gradually in older adults to decrease the risk for soreness, discomfort, and injury. Older adults who have been sedentary should start with physical activity sessions of short duration and light intensity. Older adults with existing medical conditions or those who are unsure about their safety during physical activity should first consult their physician before embarking on a physical activity program.
