B2健康306 词约 2 分钟

In Norway, a quiet revolution is taking place in community centres from Oslo to Tromsø. Senior citizens gather not for bingo, but for group balance classes designed to prevent one of the most dangerous health threats they face: falling. Worldwide, falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury death, and Norway's ageing population is no exception.

These sessions are far from boring. Instructors lead participants through exercises that challenge stability, such as standing on one foot while tossing a soft ball, walking heel-to-toe along a taped line, and doing gentle squats while holding a chair. The key is consistent practice — just twice a week can reduce the risk of a fall by up to 40 percent, according to studies from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
