Pescribed Fitness™ Programs For Seniors
By considering the pathophysiology and symptomatology of each chronic condition, Prescribed Fitness™ programs that are disease-specific exercise routines have been developed by Nifty after Fifty (NaF). These programs are designed to improve the patient’s overall fitness and remedially address those functional impairments peculiar to the member/patient and their chronic condition. Within the framework of each Prescribed Fitness™ program, individual customization of each patient’s exercise program is further tailored by dint of a complete fitness evaluation. This fitness evaluation serves to quantify the patient’s overall fitness level; and equally important, to identify their specific areas of de-fitness.
Goals of Senior Fitness™ Programs
The goals of the special Nifty after Fifty’s Prescribed Fitness™ programs are to prolong independence, increase Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), and improve the quality of life of each of the participants. It is further believed that a reduction in falls, fractures, and a reduction in healthcare costs from virtually all causes will result. Additionally, these special NaF programs will continue to evolve and be further improved based on new developments in the field of medical-fitness-science.
Benefits of Prescribed Fitness™ Program
While Prescribed Fitness™ programs for virtually every chronic disease are under development, presently these programs are available for the following conditions:
To the extent possible, increasing the intensity of these exercise routines at appropriate intervals is an important feature in achieving the aforementioned goals. As such, clinical supervision and monitoring of each participant’s progress is essential. To that end, Nifty after Fifty has designed and incorporated those appropriate monitoring protocols that it considers relevant to each of its Prescribed Fitness™ programs.
We look forward to providing a healthier, more active, and more enjoyable future for all of the seniors.
