Kim Bok Joo is training to be a world-class weight lifter. But as part of her routine, she has cross-training in swimming twice a week. Aside from getting a swimmer boyfriend, why is cross-training important for an athlete like Kim Bok Joo?
Injuries can occur due to a weakness or lack of mobility especially in the arm. Choose either the elbow, wrist, or hand and describe an exercise to stretch and an exercise to strengthen the muscles that surround that joint. What muscles are specifically being targeted?
The changes related to muscle mobility are the most obvious in older adult. There can be measurable differences in muscle strength, endurance, range of motion, coordination, elasticity, and flexibility of connective tissue.
Regular exercise is necessary to prevent a decrease in muscle strength. Exercise helps to strengthen muscles and keeps joints, tendons, and ligaments more flexible, allowing for a more active lifestyle.
Please research and describe some activities you could recommend to an elderly patient to stay active to help them maintain muscle mass
