Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je dati pregled brojnih pozitivnih učinaka aerobnih aktivnosti na funkcionalni i psihosocijalni status osoba starije dobi. Pretpostavlja se da je uzrok najmanje 50% promjena pripisanih starenju u populaciji razvijenog svijeta atrofija uzrokovana neaktivnošću. Iako se primaran utjecaj aerobnih aktivnosti očituje u poboljšanju aerobnog kapaciteta, one pozitivno utječu i na percepciju kontrole nad životom, sliku o sebi i socijalnu uključenost. Hodanje, trčanje ili bicikliranje najčešće su aerobne aktivnosti u starijoj dobi. Pri kreiranju programa za starije osobe, osim vrste aktivnosti, potrebno je voditi računa i o adekvatnoj učestalosti, trajanju i intenzitetu. U skladu s prikazanim smjernicama, dan je i primjer jednog plana i programa nordijskog hodanja, kao oblika visoko preporučljive aerobne aktivnosti u starijoj dobi.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper was to give an overview of many different effects of aerobic activities on functional and psychosocial status in elderly. It is assumed that the cause of at least 50 percent of changes due to aging in population of developed countries is atrophy, caused by inactivity. Even though the primary effect of aerobic activities is seen in improvement of aerobic capacity, they also have positive influence on the perception of life control, self image and social involvement. Walking, jogging or cycling are the most frequent aerobic activities in older age. When creating a program for elders, despite only the type of activity, it is needed to take care of an adequate frequency, duration and intensity also. According to the showed directions, one example of plan and program of nordic walking is given, as a type of highly recommended aerobic activity in older age.
