Group training

Group training is intended for people whose goal is to maintain or improve their balance, muscle strength and confidence in everyday activities. Regular participation reduces the risk of falls, strengthens the muscles and improves posture and coordination. The training takes place in a safe and supervised environment and is suitable for those with a history of falls or muscle weakness.

The training uses a variety of tools to support the development of balance and coordination.

The training consists of four parts:

1. Warm-up – light movement and preparation of joints for training
2. Strength training – focusing on deep muscles, legs and core muscles
3. Balance and coordination exercises – developing static and dynamic balance and posture control
4. Stretching – to relax muscles and maintain mobility

The purpose of the training is to:

• increase general physical activity;
• improve postural stability;
• reduce the risk of falls;
• boost self-confidence.

Who is the group training intended for?

• People experiencing muscle weakness or impaired balance or those with a history of falls
• People experiencing balance and coordination disorders

Who is the group training not suitable for?

• People with an acute health problem (e.g. severe pain, inflammatory condition, recent surgery) or a severe cognitive impairment or people who cannot understand instructions or perform the exercises safely
