Task 2. Sarcopenia is an age-related loss of muscle that is not related to a specific disease state. Unfortunately, research in this area has shown that individuals who are sarcopenic have a higher risk of falling and incurring a serious injury. To counteract this muscle loss, some clinicians and trainers are recommending specific training programs for older adults that include Plyometrics exercises. These exercises involve the use of a stretch and contraction sequence of muscle fibers to generate greater strength at a high velocity. During plyometric training, the muscle is loaded with an eccentric (lengthening) action, followed immediately by a concentric (shortening) action. 3. (a) Explain one possible reason why plyometrics training may improve an older adult's ability to produce more muscle power so that they can arrest a fall. Refer to the MusculoTendinous Unit we discussed in class for appropriate terminology. (b) Can you suggest another reason why this training technique may assist an older adult that is NOT related to muscular-tendon properties? 4. Indicate how Plyometrics exercises, as demonstrated in the video clip above, can positively and negatively affect an older adult's balance. (a) lower extremity musculoskeletal system (briefly explain 1 pro and 1 con) (b) upper body musculoskeletal system (briefly explain 1 pro and 1 con) 5. Injuries can result from practicing plyometrics. Using your biomechanical knowledge about muscle and injury mechanics, (a) Briefly explain why injuries may result from a plyometrics training exercises. (b) What advice would you give an older adult considering incorporating plyometrics training like those included in the video in their workouts so that the risk of injury is mitigated
