Physical Fitness for Older Adults 65+ years of age
|
-fastest growing segment
-quality of life issues (ADL's) -falls (major cause of injury high incosts) |
|
|
Why Older Adults Fall
|
-cognitive impairment
-visual/hearing problems -balance/gait loss -home hazards -slower reaction time -lower flexibility -muscular weakness -medication side effects (4+ prescriptions=greater risk of falling) |
|
|
What We Can Do
|
-research shows we can increase strength and balance with interventions
-functional fitness: to perform ADL's saftely and without fatiguing |
|
|
Construct of Disability
|
-Nagi: impairment, functional limitations, disability from disease
-Revised model of Rikli and Jones: physical inactivity is an independent contributor -what does this mean for exercise scientists?: interventions with tools to measure funtion |
|
|
Rikli and Jones Older Adults Functional Fitness Battery Requirements
|
Criteria for inclusion
-represent a major component -easy to administer/ score -minimum equipment and space -acceptable validity and reliability |
|
|
Rikli and Jones Older Adults Functional Fitness Battery Components
|
-Lower body strength
-Upper body strength -Cardiovascular endurance -Upper body flexibility -Lower body flexibility -Mobility -BMI (not techniqually part of it) |
|
|
Lower Body Strength
|
-necessary for functional mobility
-Criterion Test: 1 RM leg press -Field test: 30 sec chair stand 1 trial V= DOESNT meet -breaks it up into age group and activity level R (test-retest)= DOES meet |
|
|
Upper Body Strength
|
- important for ADL's
-test: 30 sec arm curl 1 trial V= DOES for male DOESNT for female R (test-retest)= DOESNT meet |
|
|
Cardiovascular Endurance
|
-aerobic endurance necessary for ADL's
Test: 6 min walk or 2 min step V= .71-.82 R= DOES meet for all |
|
|
Lower Body Flexibility
|
- associated with LBP, injury, falls, gait limitations -senior shuffle
-Test: chair sit and reach 2 practice 2 trials take best score V= DOES meet for f DOESNT meet for m R(test retest)= DOES meet |
|
|
Upper Body Flexibility
|
-required for ADL's
-Test: back scratch 2 practice 2 trials use best score -logical validity R (test-restest)= DOES meet |
|
|
Mobility
|
-Necessary for ADL's
-Test: 8 ft get up and go 1 trial V= DOES meet R (test-retest)= DOES meet |
|
|
BMI
|
-not validated for this battery
-included because of known association with disability |
|
|
Older People: DOES meet Validity
|
-Upper body strength for males
-Lower body flexibility for females -Mobility |
|
|
Older People: DOES meet Reliability
|
-Lower body strength
-Cardiovascular Endurance -Lower body flexibility -Upper body flexibility -Mobility |
