Sports Orthopedics by Kibele A, Claußen L, Eckardt N

“…Our review shows that MRT: a) is safe for the older adult when properly introduced and supervised; b) requires smaller training loads and stresses larger articular areas while providing similar or larger gains in strength as traditional RT on stable surfaces; c) provides extended gains in functional mobility, balance, and power; d) offers a strengthening of stabilizer muscles whose strength loss is assumed to facilitate falls; e) stabilizes gait performance and, thus, reduces the risk of falls; f) improves cognitive performance reducing reductions the fear of falling and improves executive functions.Moreover, MRT was found to be particularly beneficial for Parkinsons disease patients. …”
