Article Review: Effects of Resistance Training Frequencies on Physiological Adaptations in Older Adults
BCP2353 - Exercise & Physiology (for Chiropractic)
12 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year Uploaded: 2021
Normal aging results in a gradual reduction in muscle mass and strength. A 30% reduction of strength generally occurs between 50 and 70 years of age and even steeper declines after the eighth decade.6 Age-related loss of muscle mass and strength affect all adults throughout their lifespan, resulting in functional decline and ultimately leading to reduced quality of life.2 This significant decline resulting by the aging process is related to overall body frailty, increased risk of falls, and decreased physical and functional fitness which can be defined as the physiological capacity to safely perform daily physical activities without extreme fatigue.4 Due to the close relationship between functional capacity and strength, it is important to maintain or increase strength levels while aging. This is especially true for women, whose muscle and strength losses can reach the threshold needed to maintain functional independence at an earlier age than in men.4
