Case study # 5
Nash Fountain used to be the world Decathlon (the best all-around Track & Field Athlete) champion when he was 25 years old. Now, 30 years later, he comes to you and complains of feeling like he has less power, strength, speed, cardiorespiratory endurance, and muscle-mass despite the fact that he still weighs 150lbs like he did when he was 25 years old. Explain to Nash, in great detail, what contributing factors are associated with why he now feels the way that he does at the “ripe-old-age” of 55 years old (160bts).
