Hopping Seniors -- Strongly improve your balance, walking and running in just 90 days
Channel: Improving ability
Date: 2022-12-07

Vertical jumping power declines with age. The ability to jump, hop and skip is used in science and therapy as an indicator of risk of injury in the aging population. This decline is observed in all demographics, even in senior age athletes. See for example the studies, “Effects of Jumping Exercise on Muscular Power in Older Adults: A Meta-Analysis” or “Age-Related Decline in Vertical Jumping Performance in Masters Track and Field Athletes”. 

To stop the decline specific, plyometric exercises need to be employed in therapy. Such a training can improve balance, quality of life, and contribute to fall prevention. However, these exercises often times are not very appealing (read “dead boring”) and (read “quite naturally so”) seniors feel not comfortable following protocol. I think we can do better!

Follow these simple exercises twice a day for 90 days and observe your improvements. Share your progress in the comment section below. Always apply common sense and stay safe!
