> I mean balance is a good skill to have, but could exceptional balance lead to some non-mechanical (less falls) longevity-inducing benefits? I'd speculate that movement in general is conducive to better longevity. And I wouldn't underestimate the effect of "less falls". In my understanding, both injuries and lack of movement due to lifestyle begets even less mobility and other health problems. And it's a steep downward spiral at an old age for an average person.
