Most of us have heard that staying physically active is important for our health, but how exactly does physical activity affect the risk of falling? What types of exercises are most effective? Are there programs specifically designed to help prevent falls?

In this presentation, we will explore the connection between physical activity and falls prevention, with a focus on building strength, improving balance, and maintaining mobility. Participants will learn about evidence-informed strategies and programs that can help reduce fall risk, support independence, and enhance quality of life as we age.
