Proprioceptive exercise in the elderly

With ageing, the human body undergoes a period of transformation that leads to a decline in some physical capacities, such as a decrease in flexibility, agility, coordination, joint mobility and balance, compromising the functional capacity of the elderly, which is fundamental for carrying out activities of daily living. The practice of physical exercise is fundamental to improving the functional capacity of the elderly, particularly with proprioceptive exercises, which are emerging in recent studies with the elderly.
