Endurance Training Focuses on the Heart, Lungs, & Circulatory System
Another important aspect of physical therapy for weakness and endurance limitations is aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is any form of physical activity that increases the heart rate and helps improve cardiovascular endurance. Examples of aerobic exercise include:
- Walking,
- Jogging/Running
- Cycling,
- Rowing, and
- Swimming.
We will Develop a Safe & Effective Program for Rapid Results
We can help develop an exercise program that is safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.
In addition to strength training and aerobic exercise, our team may also recommend other forms of therapy, such as:
- Balance training,
- Flexibility exercises, and
- Stretching.
These types of therapy can help improve overall physical function and reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
Our Care is Backed by Clinical Research Published in High-Quality Journals
Recent research has shown that physical exercise is an effective treatment for weakness and endurance limitations in middle-aged and senior patients. However, as this study concludes, a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t necessarily the best. A custom program, based on an individual’s needs is likely better…especially when it involves resistance training.
Resistance training often carries over to improve balance and fall risk reduction as indicated in another study published in JAMA that found that resistance training improved physical function and reduced the risk of falls in older adults with balance problems.
