A Case Study on Resistance Training Question One The interface between the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system that leads to body movement is the coordination of the muscular system and the nervous system. There are over two hundred bones in the human’s musculoskeletal systems that are attached to muscles. During resistance training, body movement is caused by the contractile tissues. Sensory electric signals are organized in the peripheral nerves, sent to the brain, then to the particular muscle causing contraction. Proteins in the muscles the actins and myosin slide over each other to cause contraction of the muscle fibers. The bone movement is guided by complementary pair muscles such as biceps and triceps. Resistance training leads to the contraction of the muscular system. Muscles contraction pulls on both the origin and insertion in bones causing movement in the joints. During the reverse motion, the corresponding muscle contracts to allow joint movement. Contractions in the muscle are either concentric or eccentric. During a concentric contraction, muscles shorten while in eccentric contraction muscles shorten and lengthen. Eccentric contractions generate more force…

However, Harley had the option of shutting down the plant, the, move all staff members to Kentucky, whereby a better and more lucrative deal could have been made or occurred for their mutual benefit.

AGING ADULT CASE STUDY Introduction Our healthcare system will be changed forever with the increasing age of the elderly population. According to the Global Health and Aging research conducted by World Health Organization, the number of people with more than 65 years is projected to increase in the next few decades due to improved healthcare facilities and nutrition management in developing nations (Barger, Agree & Freedman, 2012). World Health Organization attributes the rapid population increase of older adults to a change in the leading cause of deaths due to infections and chronic noncommunicable ailments. Most people expect older people in society to have little movements and poor diet management, which causes them to develop chronic diseases(Healthcare Management and the Aging Population, 2016). Obesity, stroke, cancer, and heart diseases are the major diseases causing the deaths of the elderly in society, especially in high-income countries (Gans, Risica& Eaton, 2016). This paper addresses the case study of an older adult aged 68 years, the health status and information, the outcomes, and nursing interventions. Also, the paper will address the weaknesses and supports that should…
