Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study period will be one year. Due to the corona pandemic all S\&S groups in Norway have been closed. Due to this all participants have had a break from their exercise program for more than 6 months and can be seen av new participants to the exercise groups. Participants that are about to start in a S\&S group in municipalities in Trøndelag will be asked to participate in this study. They will go through tests of muscle strength and balance in addition to questionnaires at baseline and after 6 and 12 months of exercise. Where possible the participants will go through the same tests 1 month before they start to exercise in addition to the three other test timepoints.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention
Will start a Strong \& Steady group exercise programme immediately after baseline testing.
Strong & Steady exercise program
The community-based group exercise program S\&S, with strengthening and balance exercise as the main components. The participants will attend a once-weekly, one hour supervised session. The exercises that will be used can be found in the S\&S handbook which includes different difficulty levels. All instructors are volunteers and have completed the S\&S education. Each exercise session will consist of a warm-up (5-8 min.), endurance exercises (10-15 min.), strength exercises (15 min.), balance exercises (20 min.) and a cool down/stretching (5 min.). In addition to attending the group exercises, the participants will be taught and encouraged to do home exercises twice a week from hand out leaflets that can be found at www.sterkogstodig.no.
