We know that as you get older strength training becomes critical, but it seems like power training maybe even more important. Check the new article please:Why should older people do power training?
None of this is earth shattering...We know that as you get older strength training becomes critical, but it seems like power training maybe even more important. Check the new article please:Why should older people do power training?
Would love to know what makes you think that way? Thanks!None of this is earth shattering...

<---here's research subject #1Yes! This is actually where I am looking to take my betaine and resistance training research next. No one has looked at the effects of a western periodized training program with the major outcome increased force production at lower external loads (i.e.: power) on function in the elderly. And to add in another dimension, what happens when you supplement an older population with betaine, which may increase lean mass, decrease fat mass, increase gh/igf-1, and improve force output....
Good stuff Anoop!
Thanks Jason. What does betaine do? Hope you checked the references I had.Yes! This is actually where I am looking to take my betaine and resistance training research next.

us trainers do focus on the older population. thats what majority of our clients are in chain gyms lol. sometimes their health insurance even covers sessions. and we do focus on power movements because they arnt as capable as younger people. gotta be careful with their meds, typically no heavy compound movements, no prone exercises, no plyometrics (duh). either trainers do some ridiculously stupid-fuk routines with older people, or they do power movements like ball slams or chest passing. unfortuately its usually the stupid-fuk routines that you see more oftenThanks Jason.

I don't understand why trainers don't focus more on this population. These are the people with money! This was probably the first artcile on this topic in older adults.
I am sure that I would qualify in the older segment and recently tested a betaine supplement by Finaflex called Max Pump. I can tell you for a fact that I was a machine in my workouts. The endurance and stamina were off the charts. I was only given enough to test it for 15 days and plan on purchasing more. Do you think there would be a point of diminishing returns after some time and should it be cycled. I ask you because I remember you doing a thesis on betaine if I am correct.Yes!

Yes it is the Nagi disablement model. I took it from the article referenced in the article and it shows very well the sequence. It is pretty much known that loss of muscle mass/strength is a major determinant of disabling process.Pathology, Impairment, functional limitation, disability..it the Nagi disablement model that we use in PT..lol. I agree with the article somewhat that it's important for older adults to maintain muscle through resistance training, and I this article refers to the "well elderly."

There is an obvious inclusion and exclusion criteria. Typically, people with neurological , major CVD events and who has been advised by doc not to exercise are excluded. There are studies looking at frail individuals, but very few. I do think in coming years there will be more attention on sarcopenia ( muscle & strength loss with ageing) and how we can diagnose it and manage it better. There is still a lack of consensus on how to diagnose sarcopenia and where to draw the line between sarcopenia and fraility.
And why not? Once you hit 45, your muscle gradually starts to decline. Anyone over 45 is vulnerable to muscle and strength loss - in some it leads to sarcopenia. So anyone over this age should be focusing on preventing muscle and strength loss. The majority of people who hire trainers are the older people. They are the ones with money, not the 22-25 year old. And you don't wait to get frail before starting exercising. Considering the whole health care crisis we are in and how prevention seems to be the solution, personal trainers are in a prime position. I just added the trainer thing, the main point is muscle loss and how to prevent it.I agree its important, I think personal training as a field in general is great, but it's a very limited scope of people in normal personal training that we are working with. With the "well-elderly" it is an even smaller group of people to draw from..that imho will be the main barrier to this type of training...it would be great because most of my "falls" patients are due to disuse myopathy.
