Park Golf Draws Attention as a Everyday Exercise for Protecting Seniors' Health
Published
Park golf is attracting interest as a health-focused exercise among middle-aged and older adults these days. Park golf is a sport played in parks or outdoor courses, and it is relatively easy to learn, so even older people can take part without strain.
The biggest feature of park golf is that it involves a lot of walking. During a round, players move along the course while hitting the ball, so they naturally walk more than 10,000 steps a day. Without having to plan separate exercise, a sufficient amount of walking exercise is achieved.
Park golf is also being recommended as a rehabilitation exercise after cancer surgery. Because patients can build up their strength through light movement while their bodies recover after surgery, it is considered helpful for recovery and health promotion. For this reason, it is sometimes introduced as one of the methods for managing patients' health.
Experts say that forming a habit of staying physically active is important for maintaining health. Park golf is drawing attention as a everyday health management method because it is an exercise that allows seniors to walk outdoors and socialize with others.
