Funny enough I just joined the group after being in the course for 4 months! My name is Jack McCollom out of Des Moines, IA and I passed my exam this morning first try!

A strength coach designs a bone health program for a 55-year-old female with low BMD (osteopenia, T-score -1.5) at the hip. The program includes: - Moderate-load resistance training (65% 1RM, 8-12 reps) - Elliptical machine 45 min, 3x/week - Yoga and flexibility work 2x/week Critique this program for bone adaptation optimization. A. The program is suboptimal for bone growth: it lacks high-impact loading, multi-directional forces, and sufficient mechanical stress. Moderate loads (65% 1RM) fall below the intensity needed for robust osteogenic stimulus. Elliptical and yoga provide minimal impact or directional variance. Recommended additions: high-impact activities (jumping, running), heavy compound lifts (>80% 1RM), and multi-planar resistance exercises. B. The program is optimal; moderate loading is best for bone health C. Bone adaptation requires only resistance training with no impact component Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below in the comments!
