The article is almost 20-years old; we need to get over the fear of lifting heavy and fast with older individuals. Use reason, progress at slower rates, lower volume allow more recovery, and manage joint stress. Strength & power are critical factors for QOL! #EBP #WinLife

Article by Newton et al. demonstrating the safety and efficacy of heavy and high intentional velocity strength training in young and older men for the development of strength and power. Results demonstrate meaningful improvements in both groups! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12165694/

The key to weight loss in obesity is not to control the “caloric scale” – the key is to control hormones and inflammation through dietary choices – this is why a low carb diet is so effective in promoting weight loss in obesity. #Lowcarb #Obesity #MetabolicSyndrome #ketogenicdiet

Obesity leads to hormonal dysregulation and chronic systemic inflammation resulting from cellular signaling and feedback mechanisms arising from the adipocyte. In such case, calories in vs. calories out is far too simplistic and inappropriate to describe weight loss in obesity.

Outstanding article describing the complex physiology of an adipocyte. Contrary to classic thought, an adipocyte is SO much more than a storage cell for lipid droplets. Stehno-Bittel, L. (2008). Intricacies of fat. Phys Ther, 88(11), 1265-1278. #Obesity #Metabolic Syndrome

Should @CDCgov & @hcphtx consistent messaging to wash hands, wear a mask, and socially distance be amended to include and “find ways to remain physically active in safe environments; outdoor spaces or other well ventilated indoor spaces?” @UHClearLake #COVID19 #obesity #diabetes

Adherence to public health measures is diminishing #COVID19 cases; they are absolutely necessary, but the unintended consequences: people are more sedentary, physically and socially isolated, and we are likely feeding an existing pandemic of metabolic disease. @UHClearLake

After a base of strength is developed, the challenge is to find creative and safe techniques to implement higher velocity training in populations that may experience losses in bone with aging, chronic disease, etc. #weightlifting #power #strength #humanathlete #velocity

Although the effect size is small, this paper by Stengel et al. demonstrates that lighter weights lifted at higher velocity may be more effective at maintaining BMD in post-menopausal women than heavier loads. journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.11…

Bone mineral density (BMD) improvements with exercise are influenced by a number of factors including magnitude of loading, direction of loading, rate of loading, and to a lesser extent volume. #weightlifting #power #strength #humanathlete #velocity
