13 SPORT SCIENCE HILLS I’LL DIE ON — PART 2 👇🏼

Trainer working with seniors just take note of slide 5

Comorbidities require smart individualisation or working closely with allied health professionals ( it’s okay not to do everything yourself)

Older clients may have hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and previous injuries all at the same time. Understanding their conditions and medications can help you establish their baseline therefore allowing you to monitor their response and progress the program better.

It’s hard to squeeze everything in one picture but i tried my best

Sport science isn’t about over complicating training, it is about eliciting certain adaptations we want, be it aesthetic or performance.

1️⃣ Your body adapts to what you repeatedly ask it to do. Train specifically for the result you want.

2️⃣ More training isn’t always better. The right volume, intensity and frequency should stimulate progress while still allowing recovery.

3️⃣ Strength, muscle and power are different qualities. Heavy loads develop strength, challenging sets build muscle, and explosive intent develops power.

4️⃣ Exercise difficulty isn’t determined by weight alone. Range of motion, leverage, speed and joint position all affect the demand.

5️⃣ Your energy systems don’t operate as separate switches. Easy cardio, intervals and high-intensity work all have different roles.

6️⃣ You cannot maximise everything simultaneously. Prioritise one goal, organise your training around it and maintain the rest.

Falls are rarely caused by one thing.

But one common factor I see is inability to lift the foot high enough to clear the ground safely.

That’s why I like using simple exercises like banded hip flexion.

We start seated, progress to standing with support, and eventually standing without support as strength and balance improve.

It may not look impressive, but being able to stand on one leg and lift your foot confidently is a skill we use every day when walking, typing shoe laces, climbing stairs, and navigating obstacles.

Sometimes the most effective exercises aren’t the most complicated ones.

They’re the ones people can do consistently.

Small exercises. BIG outcomes.

Have you noticed your parents started to shuffle their feet when they walk?

Balance training is not just about standing on one leg

In real life, we are constantly
- Turning
- Reaching
- Stepping
- Reacting

That’s why I like using exercises that challenge balance

For many of my older clients, the goal is to stay independent, reduce falls, and keep doing the things they love.

Give them a try and alway remember to train safe

One of my clients told me she wished she could kneel down on one knee to take a photo with her granddaughter before picking her up (preschool SOP)

It may seem like a small request, but moments like these are often the reason why they train

Not for aesthetic but for functional independence

Let’s turn this hope into a reality.

Stay tuned.

The person in this video is living with Parkinson’s disease for more than 5 years.

She trains once a week with me, focusing on strength and balance, ultimately we want to build independence.

Despite her condition, she continues to show up and put in the work.

This is not about “overcoming” Parkinson’s.
It’s about doing what’s possible, safely and consistently.

If you or a loved one is living with Parkinson’s, strength training can still play an important role in maintaining function and quality of life.

Let this be a reminder and an invitation to step forward.

Saw this poster at a clinic today

“Hard work doesn’t always work.”

Here’s why I disagree, and why this message matters.

Obesity is complex and multifaceted. hormones, social environment, genetics all play a role.

But exercise isn’t useless.
It improves insulin sensitivity, sleep, strength, and mood even before the scale moves. In the long run, movement is always medicine.

Medications can help, but they work best when paired with a lifestyle change.

What do you think about this message?
Do you feel pharma ads are making people lose faith in movement?
