      The article focuses on deconditioning, a term which describes several body system changes due to inactivity including heart rate increase, muscles atrophy, and bone loss. It suggests that sarcopenia exaggerates the effects of deconditioning in older patients. It says that the management of deconditioning may be linked to the nurses' skills and beliefs. It adds that deconditioning can be treated through a reconditioning regimen that includes cardiac endurance, strength, and flexibility trainings.
