Elderly Adult Life
Introduction
The importance of physical activity in the development of the quality of life of the elderly is taken as a starting point, this due to its physical and psychological effects. "It is mainly linked to cognitive capacity, physical capacity, mental health, active aging and finally social inclusion". (Aranda. M). Life expectancy in different developed countries such as: Norway, Australia and Switzerland.
Its different support projects have generated a remarkable increase in the longevity of man, in the same way the different branches of social sciences have been low by little to seek a great variety of methods and projects that promote this type of social development. Certain factors inherent to this event are mentioned as the economic, environmental, cultural conditions and also the value that each person gives to his life. (Aranda.M).

They highlight the subjective factor of the quality of life, that is, “the perception that an individual has of his own life” (García, V), this concept is related to the context where he lives, his psychological condition, the relationship that this presents with the social and economic situations of its environment. It is well known that the physical conditions of the elderly usually decrease over time (aging), this event is strongly related to its environment, therefore its relationship with the quality of life is deduced.
According to the International Operation Classification, in charge of the study of the quality of life in the elderly, there are several components that determine it, such as: “its body structure, the activity it generates and its active participation within a social environment” (Fernández). According to the aforementioned, the quality of life depends on the body or health capacity that presents the elderly, intimately related to risk factors, their genetic qualities and the development it presents throughout their life (lifestyle habits).
It is essential that the elderly maintain a systematic physical activity, taking care of social isolation which generates a loss of interest in body care, life habits, cognitive impairment and the feeling of economic ineptitude. The World Health Organization emphasizes physical activity as an essential and determining factor for healthy aging, because it has as its main objective to increase life time. Some of the benefits that physical activity brings are the maintenance of muscle mass, improves cognition, prevention of chronic diseases and social integration.
The concern of the organization for the creation of plans, programs and projects that encourage the practice of physical activity is highlighted thus ensuring regular progress of society to economic and health levels. This article when considered a review article used the consultation method to develop this topic, a mapping of topics was made as physical activity in the elderly and physical exercise in the elderly. In this review different associated terms such as physical state, daily activities and independence from the elderly were found.
The term of independence is related to the conservation of the cognitive activities of man, his function and physical quality. A muscle strengthening program consists of two thirty -minute sessions a week is mentioned with an emphasis on aerobic exercises, this includes a complete heating routine, strengthening work, resistance and finally relaxation, with the objective of the development of self-sufficiency. This program was "living with dependence and well -being", it is essential that the empowerment of the elderly should be one of the priorities at the social level.
Another prominent experiment was conducted with 120 older adults, as well as the previous. It should be noted that the third experiment by Bravo Ponce gave as a result that the best way to improve the quality of life, cognitive state and self-sufficiency of the elderly is through functional physical activities and not through traditional recreational-recreational activities unlike the experiments previously mentioned.
conclusion
Data was used such as adult flexibility, balance and reaction speed. Stein managed to determine that the more physical activity the elderly, the greater the development of the quality of life of this and its perception or conception of itself. To verify this position, an experiment conducted in Australia is used, a group of adults were classified with respect to their level of physical activity, they were divided into groups, each with a type of state, that is, active or inactive later later Over the years these were called.
It was obtained as a result that this population already classified as the elderly managed. It is pointed out that physical activity fulfills a fundamental role in the development and improvement of the quality of life, relating it to the concepts of self-sufficiency, mental health and social integration.
