Abstract: This study employs methods such as factor analysis to construct an indicator system for identifying risks associated with physical exercise among the elderly in Zhaoqing City, providing a basis for addressing issues related to the risks and identification of such risks among the elderly in Zhaoqing City. The results indi-cate that the first-level indicators for identifying physical exercise risks among the elderly in Zhaoqing City include 4 items, the second-level indicators include 14 items, and the third-level indicators include 28 items. Among these, the first-level indicators and their respective weights are: physical health status (0.35), exercise behavior characteristics (0.25), environmental and safety measures (0.20), and psychological and cognitive abilities (0.20); The secondary indicators and their weight rankings are: chronic disease status (0.12), physical fitness foundation (0.1), history of sports injuries (0.07), cardiovascular health (0.06), exercise frequency (0.08), exercise intensity (0.07), exercise method se-lection (0.05), exercise persistence (0.05), Facility Safety (0.07), Use of Weara-ble Devices (0.07), Community Support and Guidance (0.06), Exercise Risk Per-ception (0.08), Exercise Motivation and Willingness (0.07), Emotional and Mental Health (0.05); The tertiary indicators and their weighting order are: hy-pertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease diagnosis status (0.02), medi-cation and disease management status (0.02), walking ability test (0.02), bal-ance ability test (0.02), number of exercise-related injuries in the past year (0.01), post-injury recovery status (0.01), heart rate monitoring (0.01), blood pressure measurement (0.01), number of exercise sessions per week (0.01), du-ration of each exercise session (0.01), heart rate range during exercise (0.01), subjective physical exertion score (0.01), proportion of aerobic exercise partic-ipation (0.01), proportion of strength training participation (0.01), Number of consecutive months of exercise (0.01), statistics on reasons for exercise inter-ruptions (0.01), facility integrity rate (0.01), anti-slip and fall prevention measures at the facility (0.01), wearing rate (0.01), data upload and monitoring frequency (0.01), participation rate in community health lectures (0.01), Pro-fessional guidance service coverage rate (0.01), Risk knowledge questionnaire score (0.01), Pre-exercise risk assessment behavior incidence rate (0.01), Sub-jective willingness to participate in exercise score (0.01), Exercise goal setting status (0.01), Depression and anxiety self-assessment scale score (0.01), Per-ceived social support score (0.01).
