INFOGRAPHIC: Falls, Fractures, and How Strength Training Can Prevent Them
Falling is an event that depends on the circumstances. Kids fall multiple times each week. Considering how low to the ground each of them are and how their bones are constantly becoming stronger, falling is usually a small concern at most. On the other hand, falls are almost always a cause for concern with older adults. Older adults often need medical attention after a fall and fractures are common. This is where strength training can help. It can prevent the event in the first place. Older adults who strength train, even for as little as two months, are less likely to fall. This is likely due to the importance of strength itself, which is a large underlying factor in balance.
