Fall Preventing Effects of the Korean Martial Art, TaeKwon-Do, in Senior Citizens
. Amazing!!

Abstract
Falls are a leading cause of death in the elderly. Associated with aging is a loss of muscular strength, flexibility, and coordination. Regular exercise is widely believed to be of benefit for the elderly. To this end, various exercise regimes have been employed to battle the associated problems of aging. The present study was designed to examine the appropriateness and effects of a Korean marital art known as Tae Kwon-Do (TKD), a "hard" martial art, on an elderly population. Results: increases in balance, strength, and flexibility were all observed. Conclusion: TKD proved effective at increasing several parameters correlated with fall prevention. The elderly are capable of participating in a hard marital art and they have an interest in it as a viable alternative to other forms of exercise. The present study suggests that TKD as a form of exercise for an elderly population is both viable and potentially popular and warrants further study.

Amazing!!

Movement melts away stress!! Did you know that?

As much as it may stress you out just to think about exercising, once you actually start working out, you'll experience less stress in every part of your life.

"Exercise produces a relaxation response that serves as a positive distraction," says Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. He says it also helps elevate your mood and keep depression at bay.

You're not the only person who will benefit from more happiness and less stress in your life. When you're less stressed, you're less irritable, and that could improve relationships with your partner, kids, and co-workers.

Keep up with your exercises!! Only awesome things will come out of it!!

Have a stressless day!!!!
