Document Summary

Long distance runners need more muscle fibres. Type ii fibres- strength and power activities (fast) Some jobs require a certain type of physical fitness in order to qualify. Maintaining or improving muscular strength later in life reduces the percentage of functional limitations by over 50% for both men and women. Muscle strength as a predictor of old age. Used grip strength- predictor of functional limitations later on in life. Higher percentage of people who had a lower strength a functional limitation. People with greater muscle strength during midlife are at a lower risk of becoming disabled b/c of their greater reserve of strength regardless of chronic conditions that may develop: muscle strength across the lifespan. Muscle performance measures: childhood to young adult (6-18yrs) Fairly linear increase in strength from 6 to 18. For the most part, males have more strength, power, and endurance then females, especially when they hit puberty.
