The Australian National Physical Activity Guidelines are
less definitive and do not include a specific recommendation
for exercise to prevent falls in older people (available
at: http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/
content/phd-physical-rec-older-guidelines). Similarly
the 2010 physical activity recommendations for older
Australians provide general advice regarding the need
for all older Australians to be physically active regardless
of age, weight, health problems or abilities. Therefore, we
suggest that exercise practitioners in Australia refer to the
more detailed ACSM recommendations when prescribing
exercise for older adults.
