The Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program is a way of reducing the risk of falls by integrating balance and strength activities into regular daily tasks. Unloading the dishwasher becomes an opportunity to improve strength. Brushing your teeth becomes an opportunity to improve balance. In the LiFE program, every daily task becomes an opportunity to improve balance and strength. This is a different approach to a traditional program where you would be required to complete a series of exercises a certain number of times a day for a set number of days each week.The trainer's manual outlines the principles of the LiFE program and provides a step-by-step guide for therapists and trainers to implement the program with their clients. It should be used in conjunction with the participant's manual so that the program is fully understood from both the trainer's and participant's perspectives.Blank copies of the worksheets are available online.Activity CounterActivity PlannerDaily Routine Chart (DRC)LiFE Assessment ToolA Participant's Manual is also available.

Text in Spanish. The Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program is a way of reducing the risk of falls by integrating balance and strength activities into regular daily tasks. Unloading the dishwasher becomes an opportunity to improve strength. Brushing your teeth becomes an opportunity to improve balance. In the LiFE program, every daily task becomes an opportunity to improve balance and strength. This is a different approach to a traditional program where you would be required to complete a series of exercises a certain number of times a day for a set number of days each week. The participant's manual outlines the principles of the LiFE program and provides detailed descriptions of the strength and balance activities in the program. It shows how the activities can be incorporated into an everyday routine and includes several stories of successful participants in the program. The participant's manual should also be read by therapists and trainers so that they are familiar with the LiFE program in its entirety and can teach it effectively to others. For hospitals, health services, and other groups that offer LiFE Training to the community, a 50 per cent discount is available for the participant's manual if 10 or more copies are orders.

Es ist leider eine Tatsache: Mit zunehmendem Alter baut der menschliche Körper ab. Ein unebener Boden, falsches Schuhwerk oder eine kleine Unachtsamkeit genügen manchmal schon, um ältere Menschen ins Straucheln zu bringen. Die Folgen sind oft Stürze mit schmerzhaften und langwierigen Verletzungen, wie zum Beispiel Knochenbrüchen.Hier setzt das LiFE Programm an. Es steht für Lebensstil-integrierte funktionelle Übungen und wurde an der Universität von Sydney erstellt, um die körperliche Fitness zu verbessern und damit das Sturzrisiko im Alltag zu senken. Die Teilnehmer lernen dabei, wie sie Übungen zur Verbesserung des Gleichgewichts und der Muskelkraft ganz leicht in ihren Alltag integrieren können. So werden tägliche Routinen wie etwa Zähneputzen zu einem effektiven Training. LiFE vermittelt viele Tipps und Anregungen, im Alltag körperlich aktiv zu sein. Selbstständigkeit und Lebensqualität können so bis ins hohe Alter erhalten bleiben.
