Abstract
The study aimed to assess the impact of a supervised strength exercise program on the quality of life (QoL) of elderly individuals. The experimental group consisted of 92 elderly people of both genders (mean age = 67 ± 6.07 years), who participated in a supervised physical exercise program. All participants completed a medical history questionnaire, the Revised Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (rPAR-Q) to ensure the physical well-being of the participants, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-OLD) before (pre-training) and after (post-training) the exercise program. The results showed that the QoL of the study participants was characterized as "High" (mean = 17.81 ± 2.17) in the pre-training assessment, increasing by 4.8% (p = 0.003) in the post-training assessment (mean = 18.66 ± 1.67). The outcome of this study allows us to conclude that participating in a supervised strength exercise program has a positive impact on the quality of life of elderly individuals.
