Abstract
With increasing age, there is a decrease in the degenerative body, such as a decrease in musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular functions, as well as a reduced ability to perform daily activities. One of the declines in musculoskeletal function is a decrease in muscle function, which causes muscle fibres to shrink, causing a decrease in strength, muscle mass, and bone mass. This causes dynamic balance disorders in the elderly. To improve and maintain dynamic balance, a combination of Tera Gymnastics and Square Stepping exercises are given to the elderly. This study aimed to determine whether there is an effect of the combination of Tera Gymnastics and Square Stepping Exercises on the level of the dynamic balance of the elderly in Sasana Malang. The research design was pre-experimental, namely the One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design. The study was focused on 35 elderly people for four weeks. The research instrument used was the Timed Up and Go Test. Shapiro Wilk Test data was normal, Pre-Test was 14.2317, and Post-Test was 11.9480. Paired Sample T Test significance was 0.000, H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. It was discovered that a combination of Tera Gymnastics and Square Stepping exercises for 4 weeks increases the dynamic balance of the elderly in Sasana Malang.
