3- homogeneity and aging

age related health decline

• misconception: age related decline is unavoidable

• many of the age-related health effecs are the same as those that accrue due to physical inactivity

• trajectory of age related decline can be impacted greatly by physical activity levels

chronological age

number of years since birth

biological age

proportion of an individuals lifespan that has elapsed

• accounts for lifestyle factors that could shorten or extend lifespan

factors associated with age

• past and current health status

• past and current fitness level

• chronic disease

• disability

• functional limitations

• community dwelling vs nursing or residential care

important things for exercise professionals

• safety

• client centered perscription

• knowledge

• coaching

purpose of functional fitness assessment

componenets of fitness (baseline and progression)

global factors

componenets of fitness

• agility/transitions

global assessment

• client centered goal setting

• risk assessment

• programming

• motivation

• education

• evalutation

• research

perscirbing type should focus on

• movement patterns and functional conditioning that provides a balances symmetrical full body program

• complex or compound movements

regression

• to make the execution of an exercise easier

  • promote correct form

  • enables individual to complete the necessary volume

progression

• to make an exericse more difficult

  • progress and apply overload principle

  • fatigue muscles at the appropoaite volume

Substitution

• an alternate exercise that can be performed instead

• a different way of performing the same exercise but not just a regression

• it may work the same or similar muslces or replace the move entirley
