Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason why ADLs and IADLs are important to the kinesiologists who deal with elderly and disabled people.

Introduction: Self-sufficiency is one of the important spheres of physical activities. Personal comfort and self-sufficiency are the activities that may not be necessary for the survival of an individual such as ironing the clothes, cleaning a home, washing dishes, and driving a car. Some physical and occupational therapists help people with physical disabilities and diseases to fulfill these important tasks of life.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Activities of daily living (ADLs) include improvising personal behavior such as getting dressed, using the toilets, walking, and eating. Physically disabled and elderly people might have difficulty in doing the routine tasks such as walking, dressing, and eating. Therefore, the kinesiologist who works with such people must learn about ADLs to help the physically disabled and elderly people.

Instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) include activities such as shopping, telephoning, laundry, and cooking. IADL activities are physically more demanding. Disabled and elderly aged people might have less stamina to do such activities. Therefore, the professional kinesiologists who deal with disabled and elderly people must be aware of the IADLs.

Older adults have unique challenges in terms of their nutrient needs and physiological changes. Some changes may make it difficult to consume a healthful diet, so it is important to identify strategies to help overcome these obstacles. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about changes in older adults. Select all that apply.   Poor vision can make it difficult for older adults to get to a supermarket, and to prepare meals. With age, taste and visual perception decline. As people age, salivary production increases. In older adults with dysphagia, foods like creamy soups, applesauce, and yogurt are usually well tolerated. Lean body mass increases in older adults.
When physical activity increases, energy requirements increase also. Depending on the type, intensity, and duration of physical activity, the body’s requirements for certain macronutrients may change as well. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about the effects of increased physical activity or athletic training. Select all that apply. An athlete who weighs 70 kg (154 lb) should consume 420 to 700 g of carbohydrate per day. How much additional energy an athlete needs depends on the specific activity the athlete engages in and the frequency of the activity. Those participating in vigorous exercise should restrict their fat intake to less than 15%% of total energy intake. Athletes who are following energy-restricted diets are at risk for consuming insufficient protein. The recommendation to limit saturated fat intake to less than 10%% of total energy intake does not apply to athletes or those who regularly engage in vigorous physical activity.
