Research – Strength, flexibility and stamina training – Skelton 1996

Dawn Skelton, in 1996, published a paper in Physiotherapy describing a 12 week controlled trial of seated strength, flexibility and stamina training with women aged 75 and over with multiple conditions and co-morbidities. The results were astounding. The programme, designed with Susie Dinan, forms the main exercises in the LLT Chair Based Exercise Leaders course. Click here to view the paper.
