Guest Hosts:  Jonathan Sullivan and Noah Hayden

Dr. Sullivan and Noah discuss the importance and uniqueness of strength compared to other physical attributes.  They address how older clients know the importance of strength and understand it allows them to function in everyday life and combat the sick aging phenotype.  

They discuss the exercise selection criteria and the exercise medicine criteria.  We choose exercises that train the most muscle mass over the longest effective range of motion with the most weight.  The medicine prescription criteria include:

• Safety
• Dosing (therapeutic window)
• Comprehensive (hits general fitness attributes:  strength, power, endurance, mobility, balance, body composition)
• Specific and effective (hits components of sick aging phenotype)
• Simple and efficient

Barbell strength training fits both criteria.  

Noah Hayden argues for some additional exercise criteria and an additional set or programming criteria, and Dr. Sullivan and Noah discuss these.
