Inclusion Criteria
Community-dwelling older people aged 65 years and older, who are able to walk a distance of more than 6 meters without aids, will be included in the study. Furthermore, an increased risk of falling (Silver Index > 40%) is defined as an inclusion criterion, which is determined by the hunova device (Silver Index, parameter for measuring the risk of falling).
Exclusion Criteria
In order to ensure participation in the fall prevention programs exclusion criteria were defined with regard to physical constitution and acute and chronic diseases. The exclusion criteria are checked with health questionnaires before the first measurement (see appendix).

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Seconday outcomes refer to the effects on fall-related risk factors (Silver Index, subindexes, number of deficient training areas, timed-up-and-go).
