Abstract Introduction: Total-Body Resistance Training (TRX) is a new method for increasing muscle strength and decreasing muscle atrophy and improving balance in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of TRX training on static and dynamic balance in elderly men.  Methods: In this quasi experimental study, 16 elderly men, with age range of (62.06 ± 1.5...

Balance and strength are important abilities that athletes should have them. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between maximum leg press (non-weight bearing closed kinetic chain) and squat (weight bearing closed kinetic chain) strength with statistic and dynamic balance. Thirty (15 men and 15 women) physically active participants (age, 22.13 ± 1.54 years; height, 171.26 ± ...

Purpose: of the most critical changes in the elderly is the weakness in keeping their balance that can expose them to severe injury risks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 8 weeks of strength, balance, and combined (strength and balance) training programs on the dynamic and static balance of inactive older men. Methods: Forty older men, who were the members of Robat Kar...

Objectives: Balance functions play a significant role in routine life of the elderly, especially in reducing the risk of their falling. The aim of this research was to investigate static and dynamic balance of healthy elderly men during different hours of the day. Methods & Materials: For this purpose, 10 old men with the mean (SD) age of 69.45(3.23) years participated voluntarily ...

 Background and Objective: The purpose of the present research was to examine the effect of practice type (physical, mental and mixed practices) on static and dynamic balance in elderly women at an age range of 60-75 years with no history of falling.    Materials and Methods: Statistical sample of this research study included 45 none falling elderly women at an age range of 60-75 years ...

Objective: With regard to the effects of postural fatigue on the amount of participation in sport activities and as this may result in impaired motor functioning, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of fatigue on static and dynamic balance in karate kata and kumite elite men. Methods: The statistical population consist of all karate kata and kumite National Karate team members ...

Objectives Balance is an index to determine the level of independency of elderly (65 years and older) in their daily activities. We aimed to examine the effect of a combined aerobic and balance training on static, dynamic and functional balance of elderly women. Methods & Materials This was a semi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test design with one exercise intervention and one cont...
