Abstract
In Japan, the world's fastest aging country, the locomotive syndrome that shows a decrease in the mobility due to dysfunctions of the locomotor organs is a major risk factor of long-term care need in the old age. Exercises and sports habits are well reviewed to lead to the improvement and maintenance of motor function, and exercises are also useful in the prevention of a number of musculoskeletal diseases. In addition, several trials with the exercise intervention indicated improvement in motor function, suggesting exercises could prevent the locomotive syndrome. In future, prevalence of exercise habits may lead to decrease the prevalence of locomotive syndrome, resulting in elongation of the healthy life span.
