Exercises are prescribed for older adults as therapy to improve which one of the following qualities?
a. Relative intensity c. Muscle retraining
b. Muscle strength d. Body sculpting

Exercises that improve muscle strength are important for balance, strong bones, and metabolic processes. Relative intensity is the level of effort required by a person to an activity. When using relative intensity, people pay attention to how physical activity affects heart rate and breathing. Muscle strength is not a therapeutic concern. Muscle retraining refers to muscles that have been trained, detrained, and trained again and is not a therapeutic concern. Muscle definition is a qual-ity valued by bodybuilders, but it is not a therapeutic concern.
