Health Concepts HLTH185
Chapter 5 Developing Muscular Strength and Endurance and Chapter 6 Flexibility
Name ___________________________________ Date _____________________________
For this activity, you will apply concepts from the chapters on “Developing Muscular Strength and Endurance” and “Flexibility”. You will develop a Muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility program for the following patients. Type entries, be specific, and use your textbook to support your recommendations using specific evidence. Attach additional pages if you need space. I have provided a case example below:
Example: 20-Year-old ECSU volleyball student (female) with an old ACL injury needs to prepare for the upcoming season. She weighs 175lbs and is 5’9. She has no pre-existing medical conditions. Complains of pain when she doesn’t warm up.
