Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

An exercise program designed for younger adults may be inappropriate for older persons, particularly for persons over age 50. Special attention must be paid to matching the program to the interests and abilities of the participants. The goals of the program should include both social interaction and physical conditioning.Older adults should take a physical examination before starting a fitness program. Included in this examination should be a stress cardiogram (心电图) , blood pressure check, and an evaluation¹ of joint² functioning. It is a good idea for participants to learn how to monitor their own cardiorespiratory (心肺的) status during exercise.Well-designed fitness programs for older adults will have activities that begin slowly, are monitored frequently, and are geared to the enjoyment³ of the participants. The professional staff coordinating⁴ the program should be familiar with the signs of distress⁵. Periods of warm-up and cool-down should be included. Activities to increase flexibility⁶ are beneficial in  ending parts of the program. Participants should wear comfortable clothing, appropriate shoes, and be mentally prepared to enjoy the activities to the fullest.

A program designed for older adults will largely conform to the criteria⁷ of activity, intensity⁸, duration, and frequency. The principal exception is in the intensity comp where the THR (Target Heart Rate) should not exceed 120 beats per minute. This level of intensity is approximately 40% to 50% of the maximum heart rate. Also, because of possible joint or muscular or skeletal problems, certain activities may have to be done in a sitting position. Pain and discomfort⁹ should be reported immediately to the fitness instructor¹⁰.

Fortunately, properly screened adults will rarely have health emergencies during a well-monitored fitness program. Like their youthful counterparts, many older adults find fitness programs socially enjoyable, physically¹¹ beneficial, and occasionally addictive¹².
