Transforming elderly health with nFitnity’s tailored, tech-driven fitness solutions. Join the movement towards active aging!
TAMPA, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, January 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Today, the fitness landscape for seniors is set to change with the launch of nFitnity, an app specifically designed to enhance the health and longevity of seniors. This startup, the brainchild of co-founders Roman Burbakh and Andrey Nedorezov, originated from a project at Curtin University and has since garnered significant interest in both the USA and Australia, addressing a critical gap in senior health and fitness.
The introduction of nFitnity is further empowered by the support and insights of Mike O’Mara, the renowned Director of IFBB WA. His authoritative presence in the fitness industry elevates nFitnity’s profile, making it a trusted name among seniors seeking reliable fitness solutions.
nFitnity stands out by specifically addressing the unique physical needs and preferences of older adults. It offers personalized workout plans, AI-driven recommendations, and easy-to-follow video guides. The solution is particularly beneficial for seniors who are often unsure about what exercises to perform and how to do them correctly, providing a cost-effective alternative to expensive personal trainers.
The World Health Organization highlights insufficient physical activity as a major global health concern, ranking it as the fourth-leading risk factor for mortality worldwide. nFitnity, originally designed to teach proper gym techniques to a wide audience, quickly pivoted in response to the significant interest shown by the senior community. This shift underlines nFitnity’s potential in dramatically improving elderly health and wellness.
Regular use of nFitnity significantly benefits senior health by enhancing physical activity and resistance training. This leads to improved bone density, reduced risk of diseases like diabetes and heart disease, and better muscle strength and mobility (AIHW 2019; Healthdirect Australia 2021; Healthy Bones Australia 2022). A study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association by Fiatarone et al. (1990) demonstrated the transformative power of high-resistance weight training in frail, institutionalized seniors aged 90 and above, showing significant gains in muscle strength, size, and functional mobility.
Annually, approximately 3.2 million deaths and 32.1 million Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) are linked to insufficient physical activity, according to global health statistics. The National Cancer Institute has indicated that an increase in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity by just 10 minutes per day among adults aged 40-85+ could prevent about 6.9% of annual deaths. Recognizing this, nFitnity provides an accessible and effective way for seniors to enhance their physical activity, thereby contributing to a significant reduction in health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
“nFitnity is more than just an app; it’s a commitment to enhancing senior health and vitality. Our goal is to make fitness both accessible and enjoyable for the older generation,” says Roman Burbakh. Andrey Nedorezov adds, “Having Michael O’Mara on board as an advisor and supporter is a huge honor. His expertise has been invaluable in ensuring that our training programs are effective, safe, and specifically tailored to the needs of senior users.”
nFitnity addresses common barriers to effective strength training, such as daunting gym environments, lack of knowledge about exercise techniques, and the high cost of personal trainers. By offering an accessible, user-friendly, and cost-effective fitness solution, nFitnity empowers older adults to engage in regular strength training, promoting their health and well-being.
