Lower levels of balance recovery and increased risk of falls: In her thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, entitled ''A modeling investigation of obesity and balance recovery'', Sara Louise Matrangola writes in the abstract: "Obesity is associated with an increased risk of falls and subsequent injury. Previous studies have shown weight loss and strength training to be beneficial to balance, but knowing which is more beneficial will allow researchers to design interventions to maximize the benefits in terms of balance and reducing risk of falls."<ref>[http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-07162008-101646/unrestricted/matrangola_thesis_etd.pdf Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, entitled ''A modeling investigation of obesity and balance recovery''by Sara Louise Matrangola]</ref>
