Exercise for improving balance in older people

Reliability in Novel Field-Based Fitness Measurements and Postexercise Scores from a Physical Fitness Test Battery in Older Adults

“…Our significant postexercise improvements for TUG were somewhat smaller than those in a meta-analysis of mixed exercise interventions studying mostly the TUG and one-leg balance tests in older adults [33]. Those authors also found, in contrast to our results, significant improvements in one-leg balance tests (with open and closed eyes) post-intervention.…”

Exercise interventions to improve balance for young people with intellectual disabilities: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…This suggests that types of exercise intervention focusing on balance or multiple components (balance, coordination, and strength components) are highly efficient in improving the balance of young people with intellectual disabilities. This conclusion is in accordance with results observed in the literature in other populations . Indeed, types of exercise inducing greater increases of postural stability in older persons or in children with cerebral palsy are those specifically targeting balance abilities .…”

Effect of Proprioceptive Training with Muscle Strengthening on Postural Instability in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

“…Howe et al, [23] reported that balance and coordination exercises reduce risk of fall among elderly people as it has definite enhancement on BBS when performed three times per week for 3 months, and this corresponds to the results of our study.…”
