Resumen

Debido a que el número de personas mayores en España se incrementa y que ha sido altamente contrastado que el envejecimiento activo es clave para conseguir una población mayor sana, la promoción de ejercicio físico regular es 557 una de las principales estrategias no farmacológicas con la que cuentan las instituciones. El ejercicio físico regular y adaptado para mayores está asociado con un menor riesgo de mortalidad. Principalmente como consecuencia de un efecto protector cardiovascular y de síndrome metabólico, disminuye el riesgo de sufrir un infarto de miocardio y de desarrollar diabetes tipo II. Sumado a esto, el ejercicio regular se ha mostrado eficaz en la prevención de ciertos tipos de cáncer, incrementa la densidad mineral ósea, reduce el riesgo de caídas, disminuye el dolor osteoarticular (frecuente en la población mayor) y mejora la función cognitiva, reduciendo el riesgo de padecer demencia y Alzheimer. Además, los beneficios psicosociales del ejercicio adquieren especial protagonismo, combatiendo el aislamiento, la depresión y la ansiedad y favoreciendo la autoestima y cohesión social. Por todo esto, la inclusión de programas de ejercicio físico regular, adaptado a población mayor y desarrollados por profesionales del ámbito de las Ciencias de la Actividad Física, se convierte hoy por hoy en una necesidad social.
