Doctors recommended that older people should exercise regularly. However, many of them do not exercise enough. What is the cause? What can be done to encourage them to exercise?

Lack of

exercise

in the daily routine is a burning issue. It has increased at an alarming rate. According to doctors

exercise

has a substantial contribution to the health of older individuals; whereas, the majority of them do not have

exercise

in their routine. Apparently, modernization and westernization are to be blamed for

this

universal phenomenon.

However

, it can be cleverly eradicated provided a slew of remedial measures are taken up. Fundamentally, the prominent factors that evidently trigger it can be observed.

To begin

with, the community does not have knowledge about the benefits of sports activities in their health.

For instance

, in Tehran, all universities have provided lessons related to sport and its benefits, so the citizens are much healthier compared to others.

Secondly

, mankind is not used to having sports activities during the day.

This

happens because when they were younger they worked all day or they were doing their responsibilities for the family, so they are not educated to add the

exercise

in the daily work.

Nevertheless

, there are potential ways to curb

this

menace. Chiefly, the government should provide facilities for holders in the green areas of the city.

This

makes them extremely interested to start practice. As an example, all the parks in Iran are equipped with

sports equipment with classes at fixed times, since they play with a group of the same ages and can have fun making new friends.

Besides

, Tv and media are

also

vital to educate the community regarding the positive effects of

exercise

for the elderly. Suffice to say, society must ensure steps are taken to prevent

this

problem from deteriorating

further

. A myriad of partial fixes exists for

this

issue yet a permanent solution is still out of reach.
