Group Exercise
A recent meta-analysis suggests 180 min/week of exercise (with a high challenge to balance) is most effective for fall prevention. Combined strength and endurance training performed at a moderate weekly frequency (i.e., two times per week) may promote marked gains on muscle hypertrophy, strength and power gains in frail older adults. Balance training is a key component of successful exercise programs for vulnerable older adults.
