Hiring a post-doc to work with a dream team (@conroylab, @fitaftercancer, @margaretdptphd) to test whether a novel 4 minute daily workout can improve walking ability among older adults (N=620). Could be game-changing. tinyurl.com/26ctpnmh. Apply here: tinyurl.com/5n958h6r
A few good tricks that ALL work to improve physical activity adherence among older adults.

Sure strength training works, but - really - Sys Rev shows it increases leg press by 40 lbs and reduces TUG time by 3 sec in just 8 days ?!?!

“I don't want to exercise for longer than 5 minutes. I am lazy and hate sweating.”
If TIME is the #1 barrier to exercise, why not test shorter programs?

Exercise is Medicine, but is it REALLY?
Study shows that:
- 67% of medical students are NOT comfortable writing an exercise prescription
- 57% did not know how much resistance training is recommended.

Nice to see research questions getting asked that patients like mine really want to know, like....
“What’s the shortest strength workout that would help?”

Way to go team from Deakin!

New study shows that knowledge is a key barrier preventing women from doing strength training.
-Which exercises?
-How many repetitions?
-How often?

Keep it simple. Try push-ups + squats - one set a day.

My older patients like things simple, so this easy-to-follow 5 minute chair stand workout that improved leg press strength (1RM) may be really useful. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3376…
Study finds that nearly half (48%) of PTs thought their training didn't prepare them to prescribe strength training and only 62% passed a knowledge exam. If it were MDs, I'm sure that number would have been closer to zero

Nicely done! @AnneTiedemann1 @CathieSherr. Provider (mainly PT) training improves fall prevention exercise prescription - maybe MDs are next.
