This document provides an overview of strength training for older adults. It discusses the aging population and benefits of strength training for health, physical function, and quality of life. Strength declines significantly with age starting at 45 years old. Inactivity leads to further losses. The document recommends progressive strength training targeting all major muscle groups using varied exercises and resistance. It emphasizes the need for clinical guidelines on strength training for older adults to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.

5. Background Information
ā¢ Currently 10 million people over age 65
in the UK, this will double to ~20 million
by 2033 (Cracknell, 2010).
ā¢ The cost of health and social care for the
over 65 population is estimated to be
around 40% of total NHS expenditure.
ā¢ Lack of strength is highly correlated with
functional limitations in daily living,
morbidity and early mortality (Sharples
et al, 2015).
ā¢ Despite strength being a critical aspect of
good health, there are no guidelines
from UKSCA, NICE guidelines & minimal
from CSP.
Cracknell (2010)
6. The Cost of Muscle Weakness
Health care costs;
ā¢ An average cost increase of Ā£2707 for a
sarcopenic patient
ā¢ Estimated annual total cost = Ā£2.5 billion
Cost to the individual;
ā¢ Associated with increased risk of functional
impairment, poor health-related quality of
life, physical frailty, premature death.
7. Strength Levels through the lifespan
ā¢ Decline starts at 45 with major drops at
65 and 80, accelerates more rapidly with
disuse and increases chance of disability
(Bell et al, 2016).
ā¢ ā50% of the physical decline associated
with ageing is actually disuse atrophy
resulting from inactivityā (Jette et al,
1999).
ā¢ 100,000ās of hospital admissions per
year for sarcopenia, osteopenia,
osteoporosis for the elderly (Cruz-Jentoft
et al, 2010).
ā¢ Covert and happens over many years -
āsaving for retirement starts in early lifeā.
45y point of
āaccelerated agingā.
8. Musculoskeletal Aging
ā¢ Initial decline in strength caused by
denervation of high threshold motor
units and reduced rate of force
development.
ā¢ Anabolic hormone levels also
decrease, leading to preferential
atrophy of fast twitch fibres.
ā¢ Less tension developed by the
muscle = less force transmitted to
the bone reducing bone density and
compromising collagen alignment.
Strength training is the only intervention which can simultaneously combat all these factors!
9. Cognitive Ageing
ā¢ Cognitive function begins to
deteriorate at 45y.
ā¢ Increased chance of
cerebrovascular disease.
ā¢ The brain is still capable of
neuroplasticity throughout life
and remains adaptable to stimuli
and activities.
ā¢ Strength programme should
include new movements and
cognitive stimulation in order to
stimulate and retain cognitive
function.
11. Psychosocial Effects
ā¢ Amount of movement / ability to move is highly correlated to
life expectancy.
ā¢ Lack of strength impairs movement patterns and behaviours.
ā¢ Lack of movement causes psychological and social problems.
ā¢ Environmental adaptation must promote movement not remove
it.
12. Quality of life
A compromised movement systems leads to:-
ā¢ Cardiorespiratory decline
ā¢ Increase risk of chronic illness (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular
disease)
ā¢ Reduction in balance, proprioception = falls risk
ā¢ Skin integrity
ā¢ Disuse physiology
ā¢ Incontinence
ā¢ āTreat people like they are frail,
and avoid activity, and they become
more frail at an even faster rateā
14. Health Benefits of Strength Training
ā¢ Strength training has numerous
unique benefits in healthy and
clinical groups.
ā¢ Increased strength and muscle
mass levels improves systemic
health not just muscles.
ā¢ Strength training increases
length and quality of life!
ā¢ Current healthcare model is
not set up to deliver this.

17. Strength as a Red Flag?
Strength

Grip Strength 5 Sit to Stands
M < 27kg
F < 16kg
> 15 seconds
Patients under these thresholds
should be seen as a serious
cause for concern;
Increased risk of mortality
Functional limitations,
reduced independence &
quality of life.
Increased need of healthcare
support for ADLās &
increased costs.
18. Current Guidelines
āPhysical activities that strengthen
muscles involve using body weight
or working against a resistance.
This should involve using all the
major muscle groups. Examples
include:
ā¢ Carrying or moving heavy loads
such as groceries
ā¢ Activities that involve stepping
and jumping such as dancing
ā¢ Chair aerobicsā
ā¢ Huge discrepancy between the
size of the problem and current
guidelines.
ā¢ UKSCA have numerous articles
regarding youth training but
have never published an article
for older populations.
ā¢ CSP has information leaflets
but no actual guidelines
detailing the physiology of
ageing, programme design or
use of strength diagnostics.
19. Programming Requirements
ā¢ Progressive
loading
ā¢ Compound
movements
ā¢ Cognitive
loading
ā¢ Multi-
Movement
ā¢ Educational / psychosocial approach.
Something new every session & psychosocial
techniques to stimulate neuromodulators /
neuroplasticity.
ā¢ Multi-planar / level ā dynamic control of
COM through challenging movements to
prevent falls.
ā¢ Neurological adaptations ā to retain motor
unit recruitment and rate of force
development.
ā¢ Structural adaptations ā to retain muscle
mass and bone density
20. Existing Research
There is currently research on all the following areas with elderly
participants:
Hypertrophy
High - Velocity
Maximum
Strength
BFR
Eccentric Training Balance/
Proprioception
Plyometrics
Iso-inertial Resistance
22. Conclusions
ā¢ A significant improvement in current guidelines and increased
awareness are needed from governing bodies to improve practice.
ā¢ Educate clinical and non clinical practitioners, S & C, physio, nursing,
GPās, care home staff, personal trainers etc.
ā¢ Routine monitoring of strength diagnostics throughout the health
care system primary care, wards etc.
ā¢ Needs to target early prevention aiming for a high peak strength level
by age 45 and then a slow decline afterwards.
ā¢ More interventions to promote strength training in diverse groups.

Editor's Notes
Very diverse experiences and broad scope of practice between us, worked in elite sport, paediatrics, community rehab, neurological, mental health, orthopaedics, intensive care, cardiopulmonary rehab as well as healthy general population for health promotion.
Big need for interventions that reduce costs and improve patient outcomes.
Strength is the physical quality which has the biggest impact on biopsychosocial status as they lose independence in tasks and require assistance. This applies to almost any clinical condition.
As well, as this low strength levels impairs ADLās and increases reliance on careers and equipment / environmental adaptation.
Lack of strength impairs movement patterns and behaviours:
Use upper body and trunk to help with leg weakness e.g chair standAvoid activities such as climbing stairs, going outside
Lack of movement causes psychological and social problems:
Canāt move become frustrated and socially isolatedIncreasingly dependent on others (family/carers) ā effects other peoples livesLoss of identity (career people/head of the family) and purpose Injury = hospital admission & possible complications, disruption to routinesEnviornmental Adapation:Adapt the environment to keep them active and safe, Very conscious not to disable them further through equipmentFamily / carer involvement in some instances can further disable

Huge discrepancy between the scale of the problem and the current guidelines.
Very poor guidelines with no actual details regarding what protocols practitioners should be applying. This is evidenced by the fact most physioās / s & c coaches are unaware how to prescribe strength training for these individuals.
Physio is reactive to problems and S & C is focussed on sports performance, need to collaborate to tackle this problem.
