Revolutionizing Elderly Care: Unlocking a New Era of Senior Cognitive Health with Innovative Exercises
Senior Cognitive Health Exercise: A New Era in Elderly Care
The Importance of Senior Health Management
The rapid increase in the elderly population has emphasized the need for senior health management. In this regard, CEO Jeon Mi-ra predicts that the ‘cognitive health exercise’ program will receive attention. This program focuses on preventing and delaying dementia by simultaneously improving physical health and cognitive activities.
What is Senior Cognitive Health Exercise?
Senior Cognitive Health Exercise is a specialized cognitive health program for seniors that improves their physical health and cognitive activities, prevents and delays dementia, and allows them to live an active and happy life in the 100-year era.
The Need for Senior Cognitive Health Exercise in Korea
By 2025, the elderly population aged 65 and over will account for 20% of the total population in Korea, emphasizing the need for senior cognitive health exercise in Korea, which is entering a super-aging society. Currently, many daycare centers are operating cognitive programs, but there are many cases where classes are put on hold due to a lack of instructors, so there is an urgent need for education and training of cognitive exercise instructors.
The Cognitive Health Exercise Instructor Training Program
The cognitive health gymnastics instructor training program is operated by Diet Dance Korea, Inc., together with MD Journal, the pioneer of diet dance, the Health Consumers’ Association, and the Healthy Aging Society. This program offers the benefit of using the logos of MD Journal and MD Maintenance Research Institute, as well as the opportunity to receive free expert consultation and advice.
Why is Cognitive Health Exercise Necessary for the Elderly?
Various programs such as physical activities and art activities are being implemented in daycare centers and nursing homes, but through cognitive health exercise programs, it can be confirmed that the physical condition, facial expressions, and eye gaze of the elderly are significantly improved. Due to these effects, nursing homes are increasing cognitive health exercise classes, and other programs are also being converted to cognitive health exercise.
Program Differentiation and Expected Effects
Compared to other organizations’ silver gymnastics, our association’s decades of educational program know-how, systematic seminars, and unique choreography development capabilities make it more fun and healthier for seniors.
