❓ Can exercise help prevent falls?
YES! Absolutely it can!
💥 Meeting recommended exercises standards (150 mins of moderate - vigorous activity per week) indirectly helps reduce the risk of falls by preventing deconditioning, frailty, sarcopenia and positively impacting cardiovascular health
💥 Strength is a component of balance, so including strength training will positively impact balance and will help keep bones strong, making them less likely to fracture
💥 Including balance training, agility & coordination exercises improves your bodies ability to recover from and respond to perturbances in balance which helps reduce the risk of falls
💪 If you're already exercising and meeting the recommendations, you're on a good path to preventing falls!
💪 If you're not exercising regularly yet, there's no time like the present to start!
