Abstract:
With the acceleration of global aging, evidence-based exercise intervention strategies are crucial for delaying functional decline and extending healthy longevity.Insufficient physical activity and sedentary behavior are significant risk factors leading to frailty, sarcopenia, cognitive impairment, and chronic non-communicable diseases.Regular exercise can significantly improve age-related physiological functional decline and has multiple benefits in terms of physical function, cognition, and mental health, making it a core intervention for healthy aging.In 2025, the International Conference on Frailty and Sarcopenia Research(ICFSR)working group proposed the "Global Consensus on Optimal Exercise Recommendations for Enhancing Healthy Longevity in Older Adults", systematically elaborating on the biological mechanisms and clinical practice pathways of exercise in delaying aging phenotypes, and constructing an evidence-based exercise intervention framework.This guideline focuses on the type and dosage of exercise for older adults, precision exercise programs for geriatric syndromes, exercise-drug synergistic treatment models, and integrated exercise in geriatric care strategies, providing a scientific basis for optimizing health management in older adults.This article interprets the core recommendations of this guideline in combination with the current situation of aging in our country and the strategic goals of "Healthy China 2030", aiming to provide a reference for establishing Chinese characteristic exercise strategies for older population.
