Summary

Activities of daily living, such as household, gardening, stair climbing, walking and cycling are now acknowledged as a major health resource, and explicitly advocated by many health authorities. Of activities of daily living, walking has received by far the most scientific interest both in prevention and therapy of chronic diseases. A considerable body of scientific evidence suggests that activities of daily living yield health benefits meaningful at the public health level. Promotion of these activities might be a promising way to improve health in unfit and elderly population disinclined to exercise.

Einleitung

Aktivitäten des täglichen Lebens, wie Haushaltsaktivitäten, Gartenarbeit, Gehen, Fahrradfahren und Treppensteigen werden von führenden Gesundheitsorganisationen als gesundheitsfördernd empfohlen. Am besten erforscht und dokumentiert sind die Effekte des Gehens auf unterschiedliche körperliche und mentale Gesundheitsparameter bei Gesunden und chronisch Kranken. Die Förderung von Alltagsaktivitäten kann die Gesundheit inaktiver, älterer und sportferner Menschen stark verbessern.
