Professionals must bring power training to the forefront of programming as soon as possible by making the transition from programming for strength alone to programming for power. In a rapidly aging world, we cannot afford to let power research languish for years of change to protocol trickle down to practitioners and older adult. Discuss the role of power in function with colleagues and clients and follow new research on the topic. Request that professional organization like the International Council on Active Aging, the National Council on Aging, and the America Social on Aging address the issue of power and functional independence at yearly conferences. Read Hazel and colleagues (2007) review of studies investigating the effect of strength and power training on ADL performance. Figure 1.4 illustrates the differences in ADL performance reported in strength and power research. Refer to chapters 4 and 5 for more information and practical strategies for incorporating strength and power training into programs.
