Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of elastic band exercise on health-related fitness and equilibrium sensory function in elderly women. For this experiment, twenty subjects were divided into control(n=10) and exercise(n=10) groups. The exercise group was participated in the elastic band exercise program for 12 weeks. Grip strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and equilibrium sensory function test of all subjects were measured before and after they participated in 12 week program. There was no significant difference in grip strength test within and between groups following 12 weeks. Muscular endurance, flexibility and static balance test were significantly increased within exercise group, and exercise group was shown that there was a significant difference compared with control group. Dynamic balance test was significantly decreased within exercise group, and exercise group was shown that there was a significant difference compared with control group after application of exercise program. In summary, when considering the above results, we concluded that the application of elastic band exercise could improve the level of health-related fitness and equilibrium sensory function in elderly women.
