“…However, Engles et al (1998) reported that no significant differences in static balance were seen following aerobic dancing (60 minutes per time, 3 times per week) in intensity (50-70% HRmax) for elderly men and women. An improvement in leg muscle strength was also found in a study for improving the balance performance of elderly people (Islam et al, 2004;Englund et al, 2005). However, in this study, although leg muscle strength has improved, improvement of static balance was not seen.…”

“…Hruda et al (2003) found that, using the CS-30 test, lower extremity muscle strength increased 66% using simple, progressive lower body resistance exercises. Islam et al (2004) also reported that, using the CS-30 test, lower extremity muscle strength increased 20% using combined sensory and muscular exercise. These are higher improvement rates compared with the increase of 13.5% shown in this study.…”

This study aimed to determine if combined exercise intervention improves physical performance and gait joint-kinematics including the joint angle and dynamic range of motion (ROM) related to the risk of falling in communitydwelling elderly women. A 12-week combined exercise intervention program with extra emphasis on balance, muscle strength, and walking ability was designed to improve physical performance and gait. Twenty participants attended approximately two-hour exercise sessions twice weekly for 12 weeks. Participants underwent a physical performance battery, including static balance, sit and reach, whole body reaction time, 10 m obstacle walk, 10 m maximal walk, 30-second chair stand, to determine a physical performance score, and received quantitative gait kinematics measurements at baseline and in 12 weeks. Significant lower extremity strength improvement 13.5% (pϽ.001) was observed, which was accompanied by significant decreases in time of the 10 m obstacle walk (pϽ.05) and whole body reaction time (pϽ.001) in this study. However, no significant differences were seen for static balance and flexibility from baseline. For gait kinematics, in the midswing phase, knee and hip joint angle changed toward flexion (pϽ.01, pϽ.05, respectively). Ankle dynamic ROM significantly increased (pϽ.05) following exercise intervention. The plantar flexion angle of the ankle in the toeoff phase was increased significantly (pϽ.01). However, other gait parameters were not significantly different from baseline. These findings from the present investigation provide evidence of significant improvements in physical performance related to the risk factors of falling and safe gait strategy with a combined exercise intervention program in communitydwelling elderly women. The results suggest this exercise intervention could be an effective approach to ameliorate the risk factors for falls and to promote safer locomotion in elderly community-dwelling women.

“…The performance time and sway length were used as dependent variables to assess the improvement of balance performance after both training modes, because of the high reliability and prevalence shown in prior balance experiments [17][18][19] . In addition, normal healthy participants were the subjects in order to exclude high heterogeneity and its related erroneous interpretation in patients with neurological disorders.…”

Abstract. [Purpose] This study investigated the effect of physical training with visual feedback and mental training with motor imagery on balance control ability.[Subjects] Twenty-one healthy adults (male/ female: 7/14, mean age: 19.8 ± 0.1 years) with no history of neurological or orthopedic problems were enrolled in this study. The subjects were randomly divided into a physical training group (PTG), a mental training group (MTG), and a control group (CG).[Methods] PTG and MTG performed a dynamic balance task with physical and mental training, respectively, in a 30-minute training session, 5 days a week for 3 weeks. The CG did not receive any training. The outcomes of postural balance were evaluated in terms of the performance time and sway length measured by a force platform. [Results] In the baseline test, the three groups showed similar demographic data, performance time, and sway length. The PTG and MTG showed a significant decrease in performance time, but neither group showed any significant change in sway length. There was no significant difference in the CG.[Conclusion] Our findings indicate that physical balance training with visual feedback as well as mental balance training with motor imagery is effective. Therefore, mental training could contribute to improving dynamic balance ability in a cost-effective home-based training program.

“…Thus, the sequence of choreographed songs chosen increased progressively the difficulty of movements, from bipedal support to one standing leg movements; movements at the same support basis to movements with lateral and forward displacement; plantar flexion, jumps and squat movements. Besides, to increase the training complexity, the participants performed the exercises with low lighting from the 7th to 12th week, on a 19m 2 of polyurethane foam with 5cm of thickness 37 and 33 of density which supports 70 -100kg. From the 10th to 12th week colorful and flashing lights were added to promote visual inputs perturbation.…”

-Aims: the purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a supervised dance intervention based on video game choreography on isokinetic concentric and eccentric knee peak of torque (PT), quadriceps and hamstrings cross sectional area (CSA) and functionality in community-dwelling older women. Methods: Forty-seven older women were allocated in Control Group (CG, n=25) and Intervention Group (IG, n=22). The IG performed dance based on video game choreography (Dance Central, XBOX 360®, Kinect), during 12 weeks, ~40 minutes, 3x/week, without foam (1-6week) and with foam and visual disturbances (7-12 week). The pretest-training-posttest assessments included: isokinetic concentric and eccentric knee PT and CSA (Magnetic resonance imaging) of quadriceps and hamstrings and functional tests. Results: The light-to-moderate-intensity 12-weeks training increased 8.5% the eccentric PT of quadriceps at 60°/s (p=0.04) and 1.3% quadriceps CSA (p=0.02). Conclusions: These findings suggest that dance training based on video game choreography can enhance PT and induce hypertrophy in community-dwelling older women.
