What types of physical activities are effective in developing muscle and bone strength and balance?
Foster, C., & Armstrong, M.E.G. (2018). What types of physical activities are effective in developing muscle and bone strength and balance?. Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls 3 (pp. 58-65)
This paper identifies the effectiveness of different types of physical activity on muscle, bone and balance outcomes, and what types of physical activity contribute to the development and maintenance of these outcomes. It found consistent review level evidence that strength/resistance training as a single intervention or in combination with other activities, two/three occasions per week, were effective for muscular strength, with higher intensities of training producing greater gains. We found consistent review level evidence that strength training as a single intervention or in combination with high impact loading activities taken at least 3 times per week were effective for bone health. Physical activities with a high challenge to balance done in standing three times per week were beneficial for balance training and falls reduction.
