Exercise for preventing falls in older people living in the community

Sherrington, C., Fairhall, N.J., & Wallbank, G.K. (2019). Exercise for preventing falls in older people living in the community. Cochrane database of systematic reviews

Exercise programmes that reduce falls primarily involve balance and functional exercises, while programmes that probably reduce falls include multiple exercise categories (typically balance and functional exercises plus resistance exercises). Tai Chi may also prevent falls but we are uncertain of the effect of resistance exercise (without balance and functional exercises), dance, or walking on the rate of falls.
