The prompt example was written by me. I asked ChatGPT to look it over and make any improvements it saw fit. It's response was very close to my original writing.

My prompt;

“””ACTIVE AGING THROUGH ATHLETICS

What does that mean? In the broad sense active aging is attention to an overall approach that
touches on mental, spiritual and social health as well as physical health for older folks. To me,
active aging through athletics means attaining improved health and fitness by programming athletic
performance strategies.

The status quo for the most part assumes that an older trainee should be given a light, idiot proof
body part resistance routine with some light, idiot proof cardio on stationary bikes or some other
type of equipment. I get it! Some older folks have issues that demand this type of caution but all
too often I see otherwise healthy older trainees being programmed in the same cookie cutter manner.

My argument is that these healthy individuals need to have ALL their systems up-regulated to stop or
reverse the degeneration of those systems. There are exciting research studies in neural science
that show how one can develop new neural pathways for various tasks, and indeed improve on those
already present regardless of age. The world of athletics utilizes neural adaptations with great
success. This includes visualization techniques which ties in with the neural thing.

My method of achieving this is to include (regressions where needed) prehab, strength, speed,
agility and flexibility protocols from the world of athletics. Why athletics? Athletic movement
requires the human body to perform in a manner that it was designed for. Jumping, bounding and
sprinting are a big part of teaching good mechanics and body awareness for improved joint health.
Agile quickness and the mobility to achieve it will give trainees confidence in their ability to
move well in the game of life. The fun factor should have them coming back for seconds and thirds.”””

ChatGPT responds:

"ACTIVE AGING THROUGH ATHLETICS"

What does that mean? In the broad sense, active aging refers to an overall approach that encompasses mental, spiritual, social, and physical health for older individuals. To me, active aging through athletics means achieving improved health and fitness by implementing athletic performance strategies.

The prevailing norm often assumes that older trainees should stick to light, foolproof resistance routines targeting specific body parts, accompanied by gentle, foolproof cardio exercises on stationary bikes or similar equipment. I understand the need for caution when addressing specific issues in some older individuals, but all too frequently, otherwise healthy older trainees are subjected to the same one-size-fits-all approach.

My argument is that these healthy individuals should have all their systems boosted to halt or even reverse the degeneration of those systems. Exciting research studies in neural science demonstrate how it is possible to develop new neural pathways for various tasks and improve existing ones, regardless of age. The world of athletics has successfully leveraged neural adaptations, including visualization techniques, which tie in with these neural advancements.

My approach to achieving this goal is to incorporate prehab, strength, speed, agility, and flexibility protocols inspired by the world of athletics (while making necessary regressions when needed). Why athletics? Athletic movement demands that the human body performs in the way it was designed for. Jumping, bounding, and sprinting play a vital role in teaching proper mechanics and body awareness, leading to improved joint health. Developing agile quickness and the mobility to achieve it will instill confidence in trainees, empowering them to move gracefully in the game of life. The element of fun should entice them to return for more, again and again.

In summary, active aging through athletics involves embracing a holistic approach to mental, spiritual, social, and physical well-being for older adults. By incorporating athletic performance strategies, including neural adaptations and visualization techniques, we can enhance overall health, fitness, and quality of life, enabling individuals to thrive and enjoy their golden years to the fullest.
