What age group of fitness clients best benefits from a program that specifically includes strength and balance training?
a. children
b. adolescents
c. adults
d. older adults
Answer: d. older adults
Older adults best benefit from a program that includes strength and balance training. The increased propensity towards falls in older age may cause some older adults to have a fear of falling. Helping them to maintain their strength and balance can help to calm these fears emotionally and also physically improve their chances of not having a fall or not becoming injured if a fall does occur.
