Doctor Tatyana Galeeva warns people to stop running after age 60. She says older adults face serious health risks when they continue jogging. Heart problems become more common as people reach their 60s. Running puts extra stress on weak hearts and causes dangerous complications. Strokes and heart attacks happen more often during intense exercise.

Galeeva points out bone problems that develop with age. Osteoarthritis makes joints hurt and limits movement during physical activity. Osteoporosis weakens bones and makes them break easier during falls. Thyroid disorders also create problems for older runners who push their bodies hard. These hormone issues make running unsafe for many senior citizens.

The medical expert suggests safer exercise options for older adults. Nordic walking gives good exercise without putting too much strain on the heart. Swimming works muscles without stressing joints that hurt from arthritis. Cycling builds strength without the pounding that running creates on aging bones. Patients should see doctors before starting any new exercise program.
