Physical Activity Improves Strength
We were always intrigued at PhysioFlex Sports and Health Centre Southport, as to whether strengthening, balance and endurance exercises included into our rehabilitation programs were really helping our middle aged clients. That’s when we stumbled across this fantastic review in the Journal of Physiotherapy Australia.
The review addresses an issue that the public health system has struggled with for decades: the prevention of falls and mobility disability among older people. The study took place in community environments and workplaces, involving twenty-three trials assessing muscle strength, balance and endurance. Results of the experiment conducted revealed significant improvements in strength; however, the correlation between increased strength and mobility was not assessed extensively. Overall, the findings indicate the great benefits of resistance, strength and balance routines in middle aged patients. The full article can be viewed here.
At PhysioFlex Southport Gold Coast, we incorporate strength and balance programs into a majority of a nursing home routines and management of most patients. It is reassuring to know that these exercises do have positive and beneficial effects for our clients.
