Muscle mass tells only part of the story. After age 75, strength declines 2 to 5 times faster than muscle mass — and it's strength, not size, that predicts falls, disability, and mortality. This 40-minute webinar unpacks why the classical sarcopenia model falls short, and introduces dynapenia: the age-related loss of strength driven by neural, muscular, and architectural changes.
You'll leave with a clear framework for prescribing resistance and power training in older adults — including load, velocity, volume, and progression — plus practical adaptations for frail, post-surgical, and osteoarthritic populations.
You'll walk away able to:
Explain the difference between sarcopenia and dynapenia
Prescribe resistance and power training with defensible dosing
Progress older adults along the force-velocity continuum
Adapt programming for the clinical realities you face every week
Who it's for: Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Occupational Therapists, and any allied health clinician working with adults over 60.
