Purpose The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of improving the balance in the elderly than single task. Methods 21 healthy elderly subjects dual-task training group (n = 11) and single-task training group (n = 10) 4 weeks a total of 35 minutes 3 times a week were classified as. Was the Function Reach Test, One Leg Standing Test for static balance evaluation, in order to assess the dynamic balance were the Timed Up and Go, Berg Balance Scale. Results There were significant differences in both groups according to the time in the dual task training group and training group around a single task, static balance ability evaluation of Function Reach Test and One Leg Standing Test, dynamic balance skills in comparing and evaluating the Timed Up and Go and the Berg Balance Scale (p<.05), the interaction between time and also there was a significant difference between the two groups in all evaluation methods (p<.05). In the Berg Balance Scale evaluation of the One Leg Standing Test eyes closed among its dual task training group was significantly more effective than single task training group (p<.05). Conclusions Both groups showed an effect in improving balance, which showed a dual task training is more effective than single task training.
