Balance University is committed to providing the research that supports the efficacy of this program.  Along with strength, posture and flexibility, balance specific exercises will improve one's balance.  The research and studies by many groups, companies, and universities that have been used in some way in our classes and lectures are available below.  BU, and many other programs use exercises as part of evidence-based programs.  The research that has gone into the exercises that are in this program have been studied extensively.  Specifically, their impacts on strength, posture, flexibility and balance.  The consequences and impacts from an unintended fall can prevent many from living active and independent lives. 

This page is dedicated to our research and sources that we cite in our classes and lectures.  We have made our sources available to everyone so that they may conduct their own independent research.  In fact, we encourage folks to double check us and call us out when we are wrong.  Our aim is to provide the public with the most up-to-date, accurate and scientific research available.  Also, who doesn't love reading research articles!!
