Researchers in Scotland said that the performance of the elderly to bouts of intense exercise for six seconds can change and achieve health benefits.
The experimental study included 12 people from pensioners to make every effort in the performance of bouts of intense sports lowers blood pressure and improves general fitness all the time.

It is believed the team of researchers from the University of Ibertaa that it may help avoids costs "exorbitant" as a result of the ill health of the elderly.

Experts said the study confirmed the benefits of exercise at any age.

And enjoys the status of "intensive training" attention given to the achievements of many of the same health benefits resulting from the exercise and performance of conventional methods, but in a shorter time period.

Instead of the enemy for half an hour or cycling for a few miles, the center aims to take advantage of the limits of your abilities in a short period of time too.

The team work in Scotland they are conducting the first experiments on the elderly.

Make race

He attended a group of retired center twice a week for six weeks, and they are making the maximum of their ability in cycling at full speed for six seconds.

Then Ahdon to restore heart rate and then repeat the experiment, to complete a period of one minute of exercise in the end.

The researcher said John Towers: "It was not as fast as the exceptional high performance, but for those who are in the age of it as well."

The results showed that published in the journal "the American Geriatrics Society," that participants decreased their blood pressure by 9 percent, in addition to increasing the capacity of feeding the muscles with oxygen as easily found in the performance of daily activities such as walking with dogs.

Said Towers told the BBC that Interest may be great: "We have a population of elderly people, if not encourage them to be active, the economic burden will be enormous."

He added: "linked to many diseases, such as heart disease, vascular disease and diabetes, the stable behavior of the individual, but if people are motivated to work on the activity and then fall risk."

It is noteworthy that more than 10 million people in the UK over the age of 65 years and this figure is on the way to increase.

Said Brbrasz The elderly are making every effort in order to perform exercises because many were working in jobs and hours of work is complete, but said the center intense workouts makes it easier to handle.

He said that people can make the experience at home, but they should consult a doctor at the outset to ensure that there are no health problems.

Safety?

There are stating that the exercise short and arduous probably be safer compared to conventional practice.

The increase in heart rate and blood pressure caused by the performance of exercise may lead to the occurrence of heart attacks and strokes.

Said Adam Gordon, a consultant and secretary of the ceremonial at the British Society of aging, told the BBC: "It's a wonderful work very defies hypotheses own style right workout appropriate for the elderly, but I advise them to consider the benefits to the older and more vulnerable."

He added: "The message is addressed on a large scale is that you are not big nor too weak or sick to benefit from the exercise, as long as chosen carefully."

He said: "We know that even in the eighties and nineties of age there is a benefit of some effort as a result of the performance of physical exercise on several occasions every week.
