| Biography: Dr. Islam conducts research on Exercise Gerontology with special focus on home-based and community-based physical exercises suitable for older adults of different fitness level. Home-based exercises are beneficial for people who have limitations in enjoying well-equipped fitness club facilities due to various reasons both in developed countries as well as in developing countries. At his home-based and community-based exercise programs, participants commonly perform the training while sitting on a chair that ensures further safety while working out. Dr. Islam prefers to use recyclable PET water bottles as muscle training tools instead of conventional heavy and expensive training machines (cost-effective). Dr. Islam believes that methodical practice of home-based and community-based exercises by older adults from around the world may contribute to the fulfillment of a sustainable development goal (SDG) named Healthcare through health promotion in these people. Until recently, Dr. Islam wrote more than sixty scientific papers and presented his research works in about 200 scientific meetings, mostly at international settings. | |
