What is "The purpose of this study was to determine the effect resistance training has on metabolic economy during typical activities of daily living in a geriatric population."
100
Twenty-nine men and women (age: 66.7 ? 4.4 years, body
mass: 72.3 ? 11.9 kg, height: 171.7 ? 7.6 cm, BMI: 25 ?
3 kg·m?2) agreed to participate in this heavy–resistance
training program.
Who are the subjects?
100
The greatest increases in 1RM performance
were observed in these exercises.
What is compound or multijointed movements (chest press: pre, 91.3 ? 28.6 kg, post, 114.6 ? 38.4 kg; Smith machine
squat: pre, 88.9 ? 38.3 kg, post, 159.2 ? 58.9 kg).
100
This phenomena might be explained by increased muscular strength.
What are improvements in functional daily activities are observed while aerobic capacity remains unchanged.
100
These parameters may accompany the increased levels of daily physical activity.
What is functional status, overall health, and improved quality of life?
200
This phrase, although not clear, could be inferred to be the 'hypothesis.'
What is "we suggest that enhancement of metabolic
economy during these tasks might assist in improving
quality of life and maintenance of body weight in older
adults by increasing spontaneous physical activity"
200
Strength was measured by these two methods.
What is 1RM and isometric strength testing.
200
This was the only functional task that decreased significantly in oxygen uptake after training.
What is CAR?
200
The decrease of these two variables indicated a greater percentage of fat oxidation.
What is RER and RPE?
200
According to the authors, compound multi-joint movement exercises as the core of resistance training programs for older adults has been tested in this many previous studies.
What is zero?
300
This study was justified because little was known about this effect on metabolic burden of undertaking tasks of daily living.
What is heavy resistance training?
300
STR, WLK and CAR.
What are the acronyms for the functional tasks?
300
These statistical analyses were used to produce the results of this study.
What is a 2 (time) by 2 (gender) analysis of
variance with repeated measures on time and correlation coefficients?
300
This suggests the potential for an improvement in the ease of being physically active.
What is the positive effect of resistance training on exercise economy?
300
Health care practitioners should pay close attention to
body composition when assessing this.
What is the effectiveness of a resistance exercise program?
