Older Adults and Physical Activity• Benefits
• Safety Concerns
• Strategies to Ensure Safety
Safety Concerns
• Be mindful of:• Pre-existing conditions (such as diabetes,
hypertension, heart disease, balance)
• The relative fitness level of participants
• Remind participants to stop immediately if they begin experience any chest discomfort or trouble breathing
Older Adults and Physical Activity• Benefits
• Safety Concerns
• Strategies to Ensure Safety
Know where the phone is and call 9-1-1!
Strategies to Ensure Safety
1. Have participants talk to their health care provider before joining
2. Always watch the participants
3. Ensure a safe exercise room
4. Encourage fun but discourage competition
5. Encourage a buddy system
Strategies to Ensure Safety
• If a participant is not feeling well or has a physical complaint, then ask them not to exercise until they are feeling better and consider talking to their health care provider.
• Use common sense – if they have difficulty with an activity, then either ask them not to do it or change the activity.
