Falls are linked to gait and balance inconsistencies influenced by a combination of variables including muscle strength and power. Multicomponent athlete training models that incorporate high-intensity challenging activities have been shown to significantly improve strength, power, and balance. This study evaluated the efficacy of a short-term multi-component dynamic training program on strength, power, and balance in older women. Seventeen women participated in 8-weeks of specialized exercise training. Significant changes were observed in all performance variables from baseline. Results suggest short-term, high intensity multi-component programming can be used safely and effectively to improve major variables that influence falls in older women.
