Beliefs about challenging balance and loading muscles and how the LiFE activities link to improving function, gait and protection from falling.

Beliefs: Intent, principles and relevance

Beliefs

  • LiFE training principles for challenging balance and loading muscle
  • Understanding links to function, falls and gait

 

 

  • Habitual change requires that there is firstly an intent to change 
  • This intent and motivation can be developed through understanding the principles, or the benefit and rationale behind what they are doing
  • People are much more likely to perform exercises and continue performing them if they have a deeper understanding of how the exercises or activities will benefit them and the rationale behind them. But this must be in way relevant to them
  • Aim: lifelong engagement (constant upgrading to challenge themselves)
