Answer:

Specific Joint ROM Changes

Thoracic and lumbar spine - extension is the most limited movement in older adults and rotation shows little or no age-dependent decline. Hip - extension ROM has been shown to reduce by 20% when comparing 25 to 39 year olds to 60 to 74 year olds. Ankle - dorsiflexion ROM is reduced with age.

Answer 2

Answer:

55

Explanation: older adults will be divided into three categories:

Category 1: 55-to 65-years-of-age. May participate in most moderate weight training routines, with only slight modifications (for joint problems, decreased ROM, and any cardiovascular abnormalities).

Category 2: 65-to 80-years-of-age. Modify programs based on medical recommendations, ROM limitations, signs of fatigue, muscle weakness, and joint pain.

Category 3: 80-years-of-age and above. Closely monitor, set low-exertion levels, and emphasize individual muscle group strength, overall posture, strength enhancement, and avoiding injury.
