Physical Mobility of Senior Citizen for Health Sustainability
Keywords:
Physical Mobility, Senior Citizens, Healthy SustainabilityAbstract
This study entitled “Physical Mobility of Senior Citizen for Health Sustainability” aimed to develop a physical mobility intervention program for senior citizens of Paranas, Samar. Philippines. This study employed a descriptive-correlation research design to provide a better and deeper approach to the study. In addition, inputs from the study were the bases in creating a physical mobility-health program to be implemented. The results is all of the respondents does not engage much bone strengthening activity such as outdoor pursuit or recreation and no respondents uses resistance bands and goes to gym. Further, it also be gleaned that five respondents out of 39 or 12.82 percent participates in Yoga exercises daily while two out of 39 respondents or 5.12 percent does mediation exercises every day. For the conclusions, all of the respondents does not engage in bone-strengthening activities such as outdoor pursuit and outdoor recreation. Majority of the respondents are assisted in walking eating in doing household chores. To end, the researchers suggested that people with ages 65 above must engage to activities improve their motor response through leisure-time physical activities such walking, dancing, gardening, hiking, swimming, and the like. In terms of transportation activity, they are encouraged to goon cycling or biking, and boost their capacity to do household chores and sports or planned exercises.
