Dr Tim Henwood Stephanie Fu The University of Queensland / Blue Care Research & Practice Development Centre Recommendations on physical activity for health for older Australians Recommendation 1 • Older people should do some form of physical activity, no matter what their age, weight, health problems or abilities. Recommendation 2 • Older people should be active every day in as many ways as possible, doing a range of physical activities that incorporate fitness, strength, balance and flexibility. Recommendation 3 • Older people should accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days. Recommendation 4 • Older people who have stopped physical activity, or who are starting a new physical activity, should start at a level that is easily manageable and gradually build up the recommended amount, type and frequency of activity. Recommendation 5 • Older people who continue to enjoy a lifetime of vigorous physical activity should carry on doing so in a manner suited to their capability into later life, provided recommended safety procedures and guidelines are adhered to.
