Program Details

Australia’s population is ageing, and with it an increase in frailty and burden of disease. 

To help slow down the negative impact of ageing and support older Australians to improve their quality of life, Council on the Ageing (COTA) has developed an evidence-based exercise program called Living Longer Living Stronger that can help older adults to increase their strength, balance and mobility.

The Living Longer Living Stronger accredited exercise program promotes health and well-being amongst older Australians. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that regular strength and balance training:

  • Reduce the risk of falling
  • Improve mental well-being & cognitive function
  • Improves body composition (more muscle, less fat)
  • Improves self-esteem & self-confidence
  • Improved ability to undertake activities of daily living & maintain an independent lifestyle
  • Reduce lower back pain
  • Improve bone density
  • Management and recovery from chronic disease/conditions
