Overview

Systematic review reveals multicomponent exercise improves functional outcomes in older adults, suggesting better fall prevention strategies.

Key Points

  • Multicomponent training programs significantly reduced fall risk in older adults compared to single-component programs.
  • Functional improvements included a ~1 second faster Timed Up and Go (TUG) and an 8-20% increase in SEBT reach.
  • Six randomized controlled trials including 40-670 participants were reviewed, assessing varied exercise modalities.
  • Tai Ji Quan, a single-component program, showed comparable effectiveness in reducing falls as multicomponent programs.
