strength, endurance, range of motion, coordination, elasticity, and flexibility of connective tissue.
Regular exercise is necessary to prevent a decrease in muscle strength. Exercise helps to strengthen muscles and keeps joints,
tendons, and ligaments more flexible, allowing for a more active lifestyle.
Please research and describe some activities you could recommend to an elderly patient to stay active to help them maintain

- Refer to the electromyogram (EMG). Select the correct statements. motor unit C motor unit motor unit A. EMG 1 sec force Force production is modulated by recruitment of motor units. A motor unit is composed of a few muscle fibers innervated by an upper motor neuron. According to the Henneman's size principle, the large motor units will be recruited followed by the small motor units. Small motor units have small cell body. Large motor units have many fast twitch Type I muscle fibers. Small motor units have lower threshold and 'high' excitability. Large motor units produce high tetanic tension and contraction speed.arrow_forwardPlease provide the answer to this, it is part of a worksheet and I want to be able to check my answer to study.arrow_forwardYou are a fitness specialist at a commercial fitness center. One of your clients (i.e., a 40 year old male) has been working on cardiovascular conditioning for the past 6 weeks.
