Physical activity interventions to enhance mobility and prevent falls. [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Catherine Sherrington (Principal investigator)

Brief description My research has established that exercise programs can prevent falls and enhance mobility in older people and those affected by a range of conditions. There remain important unanswered questions about the design and delivery of optimally effective and cost-effective physical activity programs. My proposed research program will address these with studies targeting the design and evaluation of novel interventions, implementation of proven interventions and population health approaches.
