Strength training in elderly people improves static balance: a randomized controlled trial
Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two different types of strength training programs on static balance in elderly subjects. Subjects older than 65 years of age were enrolled and assigned to control group (CG, n =19), electrical stimulation group (ES, n = 27) or leg press group (LP, n = 28). Subjects in both the training groups were exposed to training (2-3x/week) for a period o...
متن کاملCan elderly increase muscular strength with training?
Introduction Individuals 65 years of age and older make up the elderly population. Aging is a dynamic process accompanied by a decline in skeletal muscle strength, mass, and power. Functional capacity decreases and an activity such as rising from a chair that represents submaximal effort in young people becomes a maximal effort activity in the elderly [3]. There are multiple factors contributin...
متن کاملBalance Improvement by Strength Training for the Elderly
[Purpose] Aging is associated with a progressive decline in overall muscle strength. Loss of lower limb strength leads to an increased risk of falls and a sedentary lifestyle. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether lower limb strengthening exercise leads to improved lower limb strength and balance function for the elderly. [Subjects] From a total of 74 respondents, 50 subjects wer...
متن کاملThe effects of strength training on finger strength and hand dexterity in healthy elderly individuals.
We investigated the effect of 6 wk of strength training on maximal pressing (MVC) force, indexes of finger individuation (enslaving), and performance in accurate force production tests and in functional hand tests in healthy, physically fit, elderly individuals. Twelve participants (average age 76 yr) exercised with both hands. One of the hands exercised by pressing with the proximal phalanges ...
متن کاملTraditional versus functional strength training: effects on muscle strength and power in the elderly.
The aim was to determine whether strength training with machines vs. functional strength training at 80% of one-repetition maximum improves muscle strength and power among the elderly. Sixty-three subjects (69.9 ± 4.1 yr) were randomized to a high-power strength group (HPSG), a functional strength group (FSG), or a nonrandomized control group (CG). Data were collected using a force platform and...
