Can You Prevent Falls with Strength Training?



Strength training increases bone strength, balance, and ultimately, decreases the likelihood of falling for older adults.

Two studies focused on adults between 85 to 97 years old performed strength training and measured rate of falls before and during training.

One study, published in 2014, noticed an increase in balance and a lower rate of falling during 12 weeks of strength training when compared to the months prior to training. In a 2011 study, older adults who strength trained experienced an average of one fewer fall during the eight-week training period when compared to a control group that only performed stretching.
