Q

Describe the neuromuscular changes in senior athletes in terms of losses of muscle fibers, strength, and power as well as neural control and BMD

A
  • Neuromuscular changes
    • Loss of skeletal muscle (type II fibers)
    • Women have a greater loss of strength and power than men, especially in the UEs
    • Strength loss occurs 2-5x faster than muscle mass loss, especially in the LEs
    • Reduced force due to
      • Altered neural control
      • Increased fat and CT accumulation
      • Changes in contractile units

23
Q

Develop a wellness program that incorporates all appropriate domains and includes aerobic, strengthening, flexibility, and balance exercises to integrate preventative and therapeutic measures

AEROBIC ACTIVTY SECTION

A
  • Moderate intensity activity for 30 min 5x per week or vigorous activity 20 min, 3x per week
    • Moderate intensity: 5-6 on 10 point scale
    • Vigorous intensity: 7-8 on 10 point scale
24
Q

Develop a wellness program that incorporates all appropriate domains and includes aerobic, strengthening, flexibility, and balance exercises to integrate preventative and therapeutic measures

MUSCLE STRENGTHENING

A
  • Minimum of 2 days per week (nonconsecutive days)
  • 8-10 different exercises
    • 10-15 reps
    • Moderate (5-6/10) to high (7-8/10) effort
25
Q

Develop a wellness program that incorporates all appropriate domains and includes aerobic, strengthening, flexibility, and balance exercises to integrate preventative and therapeutic measures

FLEXIBILITY

A
  • Perform flexibility activities at least 2 days/week for at least 10min
