Active Aging

Help prevent bone and muscle loss and the associated risks of falling and fracture by increasing balance, stability and strength among seniors.

Benefits to Seniors

• Muscle Strength– Seniors respond to reACT training with much faster and larger increases in strength and muscle size compared to other forms of exercise.
• Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis– Loss of muscle and bone diminishes physical capacity while increasing the likelihood of falls and fracture – a $32.4 billion health issue among seniors. reACT loads bone strength while building balance and stability to help prevent falls and breaks.
• Chronic Disease– Decreased physical activity and increased body fat are strong risk factors for chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes. reACT offers senior a non-impact, closed chain exercise that is joint friendly.
• Cardiovascular Disease– reACT offers high-intensity workouts without stressing the heart compared to other forms of fitness training. reACT lets seniors safely build muscle mass, strength, and stability with less danger of cardiovascular overload and stress.
• Restore Confidence with ADLs– The ability to manage uneven surfaces and other ADLs is greatly increased through reACT’s eccentric movement training.
• Safety Built-In – Because of its extremely low platform height, sturdy handgrips, and complete control of platform speed, reACT can be safely used by residents at a wide range of functional levels.

Health Benefits

• Research has shown– One training session per week (30 minutes) for 8 weeks produced:
  • Calorie Burn – Resting energy expenditure increased significantly.
  • Fat Burning – Fat utilization at rest increased significantly.
  • Blood Lipids – Levels of cholesterol and other blood fats significantly improved.
  • Insulin Resistance – Decreased insulin resistance related to adult onset diabetes.
