Abstract

This study examined how exercise therapy reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older adults, using a prospective cohort study methodology to evaluate the effects of exercise therapy on cardiovascular events. We carefully review relevant research publications and clinical studies, as well as partner with specialists on these topics. Several studies have examined how exercise therapy affects cardiovascular health in older adults. These studies have consistently shown that regular exercise lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease and improves outcomes in this population. A review of randomised controlled studies found that aerobic exercise regimens, resistance, and combinations increased cardiovascular risk factors. To assess long-term health changes and trends, we measured key cardiovascular parameters before and after the intervention using longitudinal data from subjects engaged in different types of physical activity. We selected the research subjects using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure the reliability of the data. These changes involve reduced circulatory tension, an improved lipid profile, and glucose digestion. A prospective cohort study showed a dose-response relationship between exercise and CVD risk reduction. Higher physical activity reduces cardiovascular incidence and mortality among the elderly. Exercise treatments improve the elderly's physical fitness and functional capacity, as well as cardiovascular risk factors. Physical fitness improves heart health and quality of life. Sports medicine has also demonstrated improvements in obesity, diabetes, and musculoskeletal disease among the elderly. This review of studies emphasises the role of exercise therapy in preventing and treating cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Regular exercise in this population is essential for heart health, functional independence, and well-being.

Keywords: sports therapy; cardiovascular diseases; prospective cohort studies; physical fitness; heart health.
