Dr. Robert Klapper has coined the term 'agercise,' meaning people who are 25 years old can go out and run a marathon and be fine, whereas a 55-year-old would be most likely better off walking a half hour in the pool.
Dr. Robert Klapper has coined the term "agercise," meaning people who are 25 years old can go out and run a marathon and be fine, whereas a 55-year-old would be most likely better off walking a half hour in the pool.
The example Klapper used to explain his advice was the case of back injuries in professional golfers, who are professional athletes who tend to experience back injuries. Klapper said golfers experience back injuries because the act of swinging a golf club is inherently damaging to the spine. When people have an injury like a herniated disc, which causes both back pain and weakness in the leg, that is because the injury started in the spine but has radiated down to the rest of the body, Klapper said.
"The weightlessness of being in the water. The resistance of trying to walk through the water. Straining the muscles in a way without injuring the joint itself," said Klapper.
