The athlete and sudden death
AUTHOR(S): Naresh Kumar
ABSTRACT:
Regular exercise is a cornerstone of health and wellness for individuals across all age groups, offering profound benefits for physical and psychological well-being. This study emphasizes the importance of a consistent physical activity regimen, particularly aerobic exercise, in enhancing exercise capacity and reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Among older adults, the tendency toward physical inactivity contributes significantly to declines in functional capacity, many of which are preventable through regular exercise. The findings highlight that the benefits of physical activity in elderly individuals are comparable to those observed in younger populations, including improved exercise tolerance, psychological health, and reduced cardiovascular and all-cause mortality rates. Moreover, regular physical activity not only increases life expectancy but also enhances the quality of life, ensuring healthier and more fulfilling years. These insights underscore the critical role of physical activity in promoting longevity and vitality, irrespective of age.
