Abstract
Sports participation is declining in most countries starting at age 12, with the tendency becoming considerably more noticeable as people get older. The most industrialized nations experience a demographic shift that leads to an older population due to declining birth rates and improvements in healthcare. The objective of this literature review is to analyse the existing data to discover the rates, current trends of sports participation, health problems and ways of preventing and improving it through exercise therapies of a recreational nature in the 55-65 age group in Albania and the world. 54 articles from Google Scholar, 16 articles from Crossref, 22 articles from PubMed, 14 papers from Research Gate, and 11 books (a total of 117 references) that were chosen for preliminary screening were evaluated using a methodical methodology. Upon through examination, 29 articles, or 25% of the total, satisfied the requirements to be regarded as legitimate for the subject at hand. The current condition of lower limb strength and balance in both the experimental and control groups will be determined through preliminary laboratory testing. Two instruments from the Sports University of Tirana biomechanics lab; the Leonardo Platform and the Isokinetic Dynamometer will be employed for the aforementioned measurements. We estimate that the study sample will consist of 60–90 working-age men and women who fall into the 55–65 age range. The systematic literature review and meta-analysis aims to define quantitative relationships of lower limb strength with balance improvement. Due to the accelerated aging process, the middle-aged population experiences a decline in strength, endurance, flexibility, and muscle mass (sarcopenia), which impairs coordination, stability, and balance. Keywords: outdoor walks, special recreational exercises, lower limb strength, age group 55-65, balance, quality of life.
