Q

Benefits of improved anaerobic capacity

A
  1. talk about increased str
  2. greater balance/reduced fall risk
  3. muscle str associated w/physical function in older adults
17
Q

Muscle decline associated with aging:

Sarcopenia

A
  1. muscle decline associated with aging
  2. Reduced muscle mass (usually type II)
  3. Can be helped with str training
18
Q

Muscle decline associated with aging:

Reduction in capillary blood supply

A

can be helped with endurance training

19
Q

Muscle decline associated with aging:

Fewer satellite cells

A

Increased myostatin production

20
Q

How common is frailty

A

10% in those over 65

50% in those over 85

21
Q

Strength Considerations for Frailty

A

> 5 sec to walk 4 m or 4.57 > 15 ft.

> 270 kcal per week of activity

22
Q

Frailty criteria

A
  1. increased physical disability
  2. worsening mobility
  3. increased risk for morbidity and mortality
  4. increased risk for falls
  5. increased risk for hospital stays
23
Q

How many criteria is considered prefrail?

A

1-2

24
Q

How many criteria is considered frail?

A

3

25
Q

Carolina Frailty Index

A
  • includes ADL and physical function questions

- predictive of all cause mortality in older adults with cancer

26
Q

Power

A

amount of work produced over time

Power = force x velocity

27
Q

T/F: Power is more important than strength for performing ADLS with frail nursing home residents

A

True

28
Q

Tests to measure Power

A
  1. peak cycling test
  2. stair climb test
  3. 30 sec repeated sit to stand
29
Q

Stair Climbing Power Test

A

Determine time required to climb 10 stairs as quickly and safely as possible

30
Q

Acute CV response to exercise

A
  • increased HR
  • increased CO
  • increased SV
  • increased SP and MAP
  • decreased (or no change) DP
  • decreased total peripheral resistance
31
Q

If SP fails to increase or drops below resting levels:

A

stop exercise

32
Q

If DP increases more than 10 mmHg

A

reevaluate
