Strength training older adults with obesity byThomasR.Baechle,EdD,andWayneWestcott,PhD

It is easy to understand why many senior men and women are debilitated by obesity—nonexercising adults lose over 5 pounds (2.3 kg) of muscle and add about 15 pounds (6.8 kg) of fat each decade, bringing about an increase in body fat that may be 50 percent greater than the increase in bodyweight. Thus, older clients may come to you with simply too much fat and too little muscle, which makes every one of their physical tasks more strenuous, almost as if they are driving a semitrailer truck with a motor scooter engine. Fortunately, sensible strength training can remediate this situation.

Equipment ConsiderationsBecauseoftheweightandsizeoftheirbodies,obesepeoplehave difficulty moving, including getting up, getting down, and engaging in all types of ambulatory activities. In choosing equipment, then, obese adults typically prefer upright or recumbent stationary cycles that support their weight instead of treadmills and stair-climbing machines that do not. Therefore, for your overweight clients, try to include machine exercises that can accommodate their larger frames and that are structurally sturdy enough to support their weight (plus that of the load or weight that they are using). Avoid exercises such as the machine hip/leg press because of the challenges it presents in getting into position to perform the exercise as well as simply getting into and out of the machine.

Confidence and positive attitude help older adults stick with exercisebyLyndaB.Ransdell,PhD,MaryK.Dinger,PhD, JenniferHuberty,PhD,andKimH.Miller,PhD

As with other populations, self-efficacy, or the confidence a person has to perform an activity, is one of the strongest determinants of physical activity for older adults. Interventions should help older adults build their confidence through mastery of the physical activity. This can be achieved by beginning the intervention at a low intensity and gradually increasing the intensity over time. This gradual increase is especially important for frail older adults. Improvements in fitness and or health that result from physical activity will also enhance self-efficacy.

To promote long-term adherence to physical activity, interventions need to be designed so older adults move from a supervised, or center-based, setting to the home, where they can use self-regulation skills to make physical activity part of their lifestyle.Behavioralcounselingisonemethodthatcanbeusedto help older adults transition from center-based to home-based activity. Through counseling, older adults can develop a plan of action for making physical activity a part of their daily routine.

Having a positive attitude toward physical activity is another factor influencing older adult participation. If the activity is positive and enjoyable, older adults will be more likely to continue to exercise. For those who have had a negative attitude toward physical activity, strategies such as providing positive images depicting the activity with role models who may have similar limitations can be used to entice older adults to participate.

HUMAN KINETICS JOURNALS

Broad coverage of kinesiology with a unique focus on review articles

Examine the effects of physical activity on the aging process The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) provides researchers and practitioners with up-to-date scientific information that can be directly applied to practice. JAPA focuses on the aging process and the role of physical activity in promoting health and preventing or

delaying the onset of disability. It specifically publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs.

The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity is the official journal of theInternationalCoalitionforAgingandPhysicalActivity. Journal of Aging and Physical Activity JenniferL.Etnier,PhD,Editor Frequency: Quarterly (January, April, July, October) Current Volume: 20 (2012) Print and online format ISBN:978-0-7360-5214-6

Explore the influence of physical activity on all aspects of health Journal of Physical Activity & Health (JPAH) publishes original research and review papers examining the relationship between physical activity and all aspects of health, studying physical activity as an exposure as well as an outcome. JPAH also invites papers that examine

behavioral, community, and environmental interventions that may affect physical activity on an individual and population basis.

The Journal of Physical Activity & Health is the official journal of the InternationalSocietyforPhysicalActivityandHealth.

Journal of Physical Activity & Health LorettaDiPietro,PhD, and HaroldW.KohlIII,PhD,Editors Frequency: 8 issues/year (January, February, March, May, July, August, September, November) Current Volume:9(2012) Print and online format ISBN:978-0-7360-5135-4

Boost vitality with more frequent exerciseA commonly mentioned barrier to implementing more vigorous exercise programs for older adults is the belief that only extremely motivated patients will comply with a more time-consuming program. However, a study recently published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity found that participants in ahigh-calorieexpenditure(HCE)exerciseprogramactually grew to like exercise more than those who took part in a standard exercise program.

ParticipantsintheHCEprogramwereaskedtoexercise more frequently than those in the standard program (at least 5 days per week rather than 3) and to increase the length of each session by approximately20minutes(45-60minutesvs.25-40minutes).Bothgroupsalsotookpartinbehavioralweight-loss program. At the end of 5 months, the HCEgrouphadlostmorethantwiceasmuchweightas those in the standard group, greatly reduced their

cardiometabolic risk factors, and reported improved vitality and mood. What’s more, participants saw improvements regardless of their level of physical function when they entered the program, showing that older adults of varying abilities can be successful in a rigorous exercise program.

Noticeableweightlosshelpedparticipantstoenjoyexercise more so they stuck with the program. As they exercised more, they noticed improved mood, less pain, and better general health and physical functioning. Most health care practitioners, when counselingpatients,emphasizetheimportanceofweight loss from a cardiometabolic perspective. Health care professionals may want to counsel patients that weight loss will not only lower cardiovascular risk but also improve quality of life.

Kinesiology Review (KR) provides a forum for discussion and analysis of kinesiology research and its applications. Although many journals publish reviews on select topics, KR stands alone in its focus on scholarly reviews from any and all of the kinesiology subdisciplines. This rigorously peer-reviewed online quarterly journal will serve the interests of those in all areas of study related to health and physical activity, including movement and exercise science, sport and exercise psychology, sports medicine, sport history, sociology of sport and physical activity, physical education pedagogy, athletic training, sport

management, and physical and occupational therapy.

Kinesiology Review is the official journal of the NationalAcademyofKinesiologyandtheAmericanKinesiology Association.
