Question

Which of the following correctly describes the exercise-aging cycle?

	a.	Self-fulfilling prophecy becomes reality when elderly individuals start believing their “uselessness”; given the age discrimination, they behave accordingly, as though they cannot do anything useful.
	b.	Psycho-social barriers and perception of inappropriateness for some motor behavior, reduce the likelihood for physical activity in older citizens
	c.	Decreasing activity/exercise is highly associated with increasing age: the cycle can be precipitated by either side: age or activity.
	d.	Reduced expectations for elderly is followed by disengagement, which then leads to the fulfillment of those low skills and expectations
	e.	Among older adults it is believed that motor skill development is age-determined.  As one ages, activities always decrease.

Answer 1

Self fulfilling prophecy for predicting the future in a negative aspect in the society and psychologically is not done to make them think useless. Hence this statement is irrelevant

The social barriers are more compared to the psychological barrier in old-age .They does not mean that old-age will lead to inappropriate motor behaviours. This statement is also somewhat irrelevant and not much specific

As one ages the the exercise decrease due to various factors .It us often vise versa. This is in simple referred to as exercise -ageing cycle

The expectations are same throughout most stages of life making this statement not relevant

Motor skills development is age determined because as one ages there skills decreases but most research also showed good exercise has decreased the myth on motor development

Ans:Decreasing activity /exercise is highly associated with increasing age: the cycle can be precipitated on either side
