Expert guidance on returning to physical activity

Overview

Health and physical education experts are providing guidance on how to safely resume exercise after periods of inactivity to prevent injury.

Luis Flores, head of Kinesiology at the University of O’Higgins, notes that while the cardiorespiratory system recovers quickly, tendons and bones adapt much more slowly to stress. He recommends starting with 20 to 30 minutes of moderate-intensity sessions.

Valdir Sathler, a physical education professor at Faculdade Anhanguera, adds that previous fitness experience does not eliminate the need for a new adaptation phase. He advises focusing on movement quality, using lighter weights to ensure proper posture, and reducing overall training volume by limiting the number of exercises, sets, and repetitions.
