This research creates a core outcome set for clinical trials of physical activity in older adults. Because trials currently measure inconsistent outcomes, evidence cannot be easily combined. Using a multi-round expert and stakeholder survey, the project will establish essential outcomes to reduce research waste, improve knowledge synthesis, and strengthen healthcare decisions.

This research investigates whether ballet training can reduce fall risk in older adults. Comparing dancers to non-dancers during unexpected slips, ballet-trained participants showed better stability, faster muscle responses, and fewer falls. The project aims to develop a validated ballet-based fall-prevention syllabus that could significantly improve independence and reduce healthcare costs.
