Abstract :
Introduction: Weak immune system, weak muscle strength, lack of balance and functional immobility predict falls in the elderly. The aim of this study was the effect of two types of traditional and suspended strength training on the levels of some factors of motor fitness in the elderly with motor impairment.
research methodology: 45 elderly women with chronic mobility impairment were randomly assigned to 3 groups of 15: control, traditional resistance training (TRT) and suspended resistance training (TRX). After the pre-test phase, the subjects of the training groups participated in 8-week training sessions that were held 3 times a week and each session lasted for 40-50 minutes. Upper limb strength was measured with forearm movement test, static balance with Sharpand-Romberg test, and agility was also measured using the get-up-and-go test. To investigate the difference between groups of variables with normal distribution, statistical test of analysis of covariance (ANCOA) and correlated t were used (P ≥ 0.05).
Findings: The result of examining balance, agility and strength through covariance analysis showed a significant difference between the studied groups (P<0.05). Examining the results of the correlation test also shows that balance, agility and strength in both intervention groups were significant compared to the pre-test stage (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The present review shows that both protocols are efficient in improving physical complications caused by aging and confirms the need for this type of exercise training in this population profile regardless of the method used. However, suspension training achieved greater gains in physical fitness variables related to daily activities in women with poor mobility.
