Resistance and agility training reduce fall risk in women aged 75 to 85 with low bone mass: a 6-month randomized, controlled trial
Article Abstract:
A study is carried out to compare the effectiveness of group resistance and agility-training programs in reducing fall risk in older women with low bone mass. It was observed that within the resistance-training group, the reductions were associated with improved strength, which support the implementation of community-based resistance and agility-training programs to ensure public health benefits.
