Resistance Training Effects for Older Adults
Sarcopenia is the decrease in muscle mass throughout the body that occurs with aging. This condition is prevalent in the geriatric population (60+ years) due to the body\u27s physiological systems overworking to try and keep up with the demands of the surrounding environment. Resistance training is an effective way for increasing or maintaining skeletal muscle mass. This literature review begins by covering the common health effects regarding the cardiovascular, neuromuscular and hormonal systems as humans age. Then is followed by an analysis of previous literature and experimental studies that discuss the effects of resistance training on the bodily systems. Implications are drawn based on the analysis of results from these studies to determine if there are positive effects of resistance training that can lead to better physical wellness for the older population
Vibration Reduction System for an APNT Device
This project aimed to mitigate vibration-induced errors in Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) devies, particularly in aerospace environments. The study explored the effectiveness of vibration damping materials, specifically Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) and Memory Foam, in reducing the transmission of vibrations to an APNT replica. Experimental results showed that different material combinations provided for the most vibration reduction, with TPU at 10% infill and Memory Foam showing the best performance. Although the stacked material setup showed promising results, it was not ideal for real-worl aerospace applications due to practical constraints. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into improving the reliability of APNT devices in GPS-denied environments, contributing to the ongoing advancement of navigational technologies in demanding operational environments
