RESEARCH & EVIDENCE
Our work is built on research into falls, ageing, exercise science, frailty prevention and judo-based safe landing.
Safe Landing Academy (SLA) collaborates with universities, councils and community organisations to keep evaluating and improving the DBfL program to suit individuals with various health conditions & challenges.
Evidence shows that learning safe landing skills can reduce fear of falling, improve balance, mobility and strength, and empower individuals to feel confident and stay independent.
