Desarrollo motor en el adulto mayor: Envejecimiento Activo y Saludable
Resumen
El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar y discutir los factores que influyen en el Desarrollo Motor en adultos mayores, enfatizando el papel de la actividad física en la salud y la independencia a medida que las personas envejecen. Utilizando un enfoque cualitativo, revisa sistemáticamente la literatura existente para explorar los beneficios y desafíos relacionados con el desarrollo motor en adultos mayores, evidenciando cómo el ejercicio y las actividades motoras pueden mitigar los efectos del envejecimiento. Se identifican los factores que influyen en el desarrollo motor en adultos mayores, incluidos los aspectos biológicos, psicológicos y sociales. Las enfermedades crónicas, las limitaciones de movilidad y la disminución de la masa muscular y la flexibilidad relacionada con la edad son barreras físicas para mantener la salud motora. Los factores psicosociales, como la motivación, la salud mental y los sistemas de apoyo social, también desempeñan un papel fundamental en la capacidad de una persona para participar y mantener la actividad física.
