With the aging of the population in China, neuromuscular function degradation has become one of the most important problems affecting the health level and quality of life of the elderly. The degradation process of this neuromuscular function involves a decrease in nerve conduction velocity, muscle strength, coordination, and balance, which seriously affects the daily activity and self-care abilities of the elderly. This article is based on the perspectives of sports science and physical therapy, and elaborates on the physiological mechanisms of neuromuscular degeneration. It summarizes the mainstream intervention paths of aerobic exercise, resistance training, and proprioceptive training, and proposes suggestions and improvement plans for functional evaluation, personalized training, multidisciplinary integration, and information-based assistance to improve neuromuscular degeneration. The aim is to provide theoretical basis and practical reference for the development of a scientific and effective neuromuscular function intervention system for the elderly.
