Evidence for prescribing exercise as therapy in chronic disease (2006, background): “A 2001 Cochrane Review (Jolliffe et al., 2000) examined the effect of exercise-based rehabilitation of coronary heart disease patients based on 32 randomized-controlled trials (Kentala, 1972; Wilhelmsen et al., 1975; Andersen et al., 1981; Shaw, 1981; Vecchio et al., 1981; Ballantyne et al., 1982; C”
Environmental Perspectives on Ageing (2010, result): “, 2009) and this evidence is in line with earlier compilations of the literature (Gillespie et al., 2003).”
Physical Activity and Bone Health (2004, background): “A recent Cochrane database review concluded that exercise alone does not reduce fall risk in elderly women and men (33).”
Effective Exercise for the Prevention of Falls: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis (2008, background): “Multifaceted interventions can prevent falls in the general community, in those at greater risk of falls, and in residential care facilities.(4,6) Many trials have sought to establish the specific effect of exercise on fall rates, but a large proportion of these trials have been underpowered.”
Development of a Common Outcome Data Set for Fall Injury Prevention Trials: The Prevention of Falls Network Europe Consensus (2005, methodology): “Full methodological details and results of searches are available.3 Literature searches to identify measures used in clinical trials were an exact replication of the Cochrane Review of Interventions to Prevent Falls in the Elderly.1 Secondary searches identified additional reports of the measures.”
Summary of the Updated American Geriatrics Society/British Geriatrics Society Clinical Practice Guideline for Prevention of Falls in Older Persons (2011, background): “Further insights regarding effectiveness of the interventions are gained through the meta-analysis.(15) One RCT found particular benefit in highrisk frail older subjects with a falls history.”
Physical activity and older adults: a review of health benefits and the effectiveness of interventions (2004, background): “Physical activity, and in particular strength training, has been found to be effective in reducing the incidence of falls (Gillespie et al., 2003), but further research is needed to determine if these effects can be sustained.”
Exercise and Physical Activity for Older Adults (2020, unknown): “Several large prospective cohort studies link higher levels of physical activity, particularly walking, with 30%– 50% reduction in the risk of osteoporotic fractures (74).”
Tai Chi and fall reductions in older adults: a randomized controlled trial. (2005, background): “Several preventive intervention strategies have proven effective in preventing falls and decreasing the risk for falling (4,7,10,11), although less is known about their effectiveness in preventing fall-related injuries (11).”
The costs of fatal and non-fatal falls among older adults (2006, background): “38 Among people at high risk (for example, those who have fallen at least once before), clinical assessment combined with individualized fall risk reduction and patient follow up was effective, lowering the risk of falling by 18%.”
Aquatic Therapy: Scientific Foundations and Clinical Rehabilitation Applications (2009, background): “Whether these gains lead to a reduction in falls remains an open question, although rehab programs are typically built around this hypothesis and a recent Cochrane review supports the belief [149].”
