I'm gunna need a citation on that one. Training you balance is likely to increase your overall balance. Like, by definition. If you can stand on one leg well, then you have the muscles and the equilibrium to balance yourself. Therefore you are less likely to fall.
- karpierz 4y agoI'm not making an empirical claim here. I am trying to explain why their results do not imply that "training to balance on one leg" causes good health outcomes. I'm saying that this experiment: 1. Does not define 'balance' 2. Does not show that the test they applied predicts or correlates with 'balance' 3. Does not show that 'balance' causes good health outcomes.
