Abstract
Balance and resistance training can improve healthy older adults’ balance and muscle strength. Delivering such exercise programs at home without supervision may facilitate participation for older adults because they do not have to leave their homes. To date, no systematic literature analysis has been conducted to determine if supervision affects the effectiveness of these programs to improve healthy older adults’ balance and muscle strength/power.This publication has 62 references indexed in Scilit:
