For this activity, you will apply concepts from the chapters on “Developing Muscular Strength and Endurance” and “Flexibility”. You will develop a Muscular strength, endurance, and flexibility program for the following patients. Type entries, be specific, and use your textbook to support your recommendations using specific evidence. Attach additional pages if you need space. I have provided a case example below:
