Exercise for Frail Elders Summary

Exercise for Frail Elders by Elizabeth Best-Martini

This book aims to allow the reader to prescribe an exercise programme as part of either a general functioning, wellness and/or rehabilitation programme for older adults. This training guide should give programme directors, administrators and exercise leaders the tools they need to help frail elders and adults with special needs improve their level of functional fitness. It also details inherent challenges that can come when working older adults offering assistance and, at the same time, showing leaders how to promote a sense of fun and social interaction in an exercise programme. It describes how to plan a programme with information on safety, assessing individual needs and developing good leadership skills for presenting, motivating, and creating a sense of belonging in your classes.
