Question 3

List four beneficial changes from a strength and conditioning program in a 65+ year old population.

Accepted Answer

1. Improved bone density: Strength and conditioning programs can help increase bone density in older adults, reducing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

2. Increased muscle mass: As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass, but a strength and conditioning program can help older adults maintain and even increase their muscle mass, leading to improved strength and mobility.

3. Enhanced balance and coordination: Strength and conditioning exercises can improve balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and improving overall stability in older adults.

4. Better overall health and quality of life: Engaging in a strength and conditioning program can lead to improved cardiovascular health, better mental well-being, and an overall higher quality of life for older adults.
