Background: The risk of falls is a common problem in older adults that can have serious consequences. They can cause fractures, brain injuries, hospitalization and disability, which can affect the quality of life and autonomy of older people. The strengthening of the CORE (Word in English that means Center and refers to the central region of the human body) is an effective strategy to reduce the risk of falls and improve well-being in the geriatric population. Objective: To compare the results before and after the intervention where a Core strengthening exercise program was used. Methods: The methodology considered was quantitative, longitudinal and descriptive, to assess the risk of falls in the population studied, the Berg and TUG (Timed Up and go) tests were used. They were applied at the beginning and at the end of the treatment through an intervention program of exercises of strengthening of the core muscles. Results: The data obtained show that there was a reduction in the risk of falls in the studied population. The two tests used obtained results of p=0.000, demonstrating that the intervention achieved the expected results. Conclusions: It is concluded that Core strengthening exercises reduce the risk of falls in older adults.
