Abstract

                A nation’s longer life expectancy contributes to its high old population, which is further exacerbated by the high physical and mental health issues that plague the elderly. Doing ergonomic exercises, which have been shown to have numerous advantages, particularly in the old, is one way to try and suppress all of the ailments that affect the aged. Exercises that immediately open, cleanse, and activate all body systems, including the cardiovascular, urinary, and reproductive systems, are referred to as ergonomic exercises. These movements also assist the body in controlling and preventing numerous diseases and dysfunctions, ensuring that it remains healthy. From February 2014 to June 2024, a literature search was performed using the keywords “benefits of ergonomic gymnastics for the elderly,” “effects of ergonomic gymnastics on the health of the menopause elderly,” “efforts to maintain the health of the menopause elderly,” and “factors affecting the health of the menopause elderly.” A total of ten articles were chosen because they fit the inclusion criteria: title and content relevant to the aims, written in English or Indonesian, full text, and published within the last seven years. From the 10 articles selected for review, information was obtained on the benefits of ergonomic exercise for the elderly, including ergonomic exercise can reduce anxiety levels, can improve sleep quality/insomnia, can reduce chronic pain and muscle weakness, and can improve quality of life in the menopause elderly.

Keywords: Benefits of ergonomic gymnastics, menopause elderly health.
