Descriptive Information
Brief Title ^ICMJE	The Effects of Lower Body Resistance Training on Balance and Fall Prevention in the Elderly
Official Title ^ICMJE	The Effects of Lower Body Resistance Training on Balance and Fall Prevention in the Elderly
Brief Summary	The aim of the study is to prevent falls related to poor lower body strength adn balance in the elderly.
Detailed Description	The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of a structured lower body resistance training program on balance in an elderly population. Our hypothesis is that elderly adults will improve their balance following a structured lower body strength training program compared to those who do not engage in a lower body strength training program.
