“…The importance of Physical activity are many as it diminishes the risk of various non-communicable and chronic health conditions, which includes heart disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, colon, post-menopausal breast and endometrial cancers, stroke, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, depression, falls and disability in the elderly people 12,14,16,17,19,[21][22][23][24]26,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] . From the extant review, it is therefore concluded that physical activities have numerous advantages for the prevention and management of many health-related conditions been faced by the elderly people.…”

“…Also, a study on the effects of Tai Chi Chuan, a form of exercise originating in Asia and 'Brisk Walking Exercise on Balance Ability in Elderly Women' revealed that 12 and 16 weeks of Tai Chi Chuan and brisk walking respectively were essential to improve balance (which is a major factor in risk of fall) with eyes closed among the women aged 60-70 years. Exercise can either be done alone or in groups, although, group exercise is the best as older adults who participate in group exercise receives additional benefits related to falls prevention compared with those who exercise alone 37,38 .…”

Penyakit Tidak Menular (PTM) atau dikenal dengan Non Communicable Disease (NCD) semakin menjadi beban kesehatan, pembangunan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan sebagian besar populasi masyarakat saat ini (WHO, 2017). NCD merupakan penyebab utama kematian di tingkat global (2). Hal ini menyebabkan NCD menjadi salah satu tantangan utama Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) dengan mengurangi kematian dini akibat NCD (3). Beberapa penyakit yang umum pada NCD adalah penyakit kardiovaskuler, diabetes mellitus, kanker dan penyakit pernapasan kronik (4).NCD akan semakin meningkat pada orang yang merokok, menggunakan alkohol, diet yang tidak sehat, obesitas, tekanan darah tinggi hingga ketidakaktifan fisik (WHO, 2017). Ketidakaktifan fisik (Physical Inactivity) diidentifikasi sebagai salah satu faktor risiko untuk kematian global. Ketidakaktifan fisik meningkat di banyak negara dengan implikasi besar terhadap prevalensi penyakit tidak menular (NCD) dan kesehatan umum populasi di seluruh dunia (5). Tren saat ini dalam studi aktivitas fisik dan ketidakaktifan fisik menjadi pusat perhatian. Ketidakaktifan fisik dan perilaku menetap (Sedentary Behavior) berkontribusi besar pada peningkatan beban penyakit NCD (6).Hidup dengan gaya hidup yang menetap merupakan faktor risiko independen untuk beragam penyakit. Oleh karena itu, sangat penting untuk melakukan aktivitas fisik, bahkan dengan sedikit aktivitas fisik akan memiliki dampak positif pada kesehatan (7). Beberapa jenis latihan yang dapat meningkatkan aktivitas fisik seperti, aerobik, anaerobic, penguatan otot, penguatan tulang dan keseimbangan (8). Salah satu latihan yang direkomendasikan dari latihan aerobic adalah brisk walking (jalan cepat). Latihan ini tidak memiliki keterampilan, fasilitas atau persyaratan peralatan dan lebih mudah diakses dan diterima dibandingkan bentuk latihan aktivitas fisik lainnya (9). Brisk walking merupakan latihan jalan cepat setidaknya 3 mph (4.83 km/jam) dan digolongkan dalam aktivitas fisik intensitas sedang (moderate intensity). Brisk walking terbukti secara ilmiah efektivitasnya dan dapat menjadi intervensi yang dapat mempromosikan aktivitas fisik dengan mudah (9). Brisk walking dianggap aman bagi kebanyakan orang dan direkomendasikan bagi Introduction: Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior contribute greatly to an increase in the burden of non-communicable diseases. One of the recommended exercises for increasing physical activity is brisk walking. This exercise is more accessible and acceptable than other forms of physical activity training. Methods: Literature search was conducted on 4 database; PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect and ProQuest. Articles reported in English for the last 5 years, brisk walking related to various health problems in patients and article published in randomized control trial. Results: A total of 729 articles were supported from four database searches and only 9 articles met the inclusion criteria. Some of the benefits that have proven to be effective evidence-based are to reduce fatigue levels especially in patients w...

“…Regular physical exercise is associated with improved health-related quality of life, maintaining health [2], and the functional capacity of the elderly, as well as being a factor in reducing mortality [30], decreasing the risk of osteoporosis, falls, and fractures [24]. Moreover, studies reveal improvements due to exercise in several specific variables such as speed [14], balance in walking [31], aerobic endurance [5], flexibility [12], muscle strength, and quality of life [36].…”

Study aim: To assess the effects of a long-term physical exercise program on balance, physical conditioning, and health perception in elderly women. Material and methods: The sample, 143 elderly women, were randomly assigned to an experimental group (EG; n = 71; age: 71.62 ± 4.96 years) and control group (CG; n = 72; age: 72.89 ± 5.40 years). The EG was submitted to a 32-week physical exercise program (3×/week, 60 min/session). Balance and physical conditioning were assessed through the 10-step in a straight-line test, the unipedal balance test (UBT), the timed up and go (TUG) test, and the 30-second chair stand test (30s CST). Health perception was evaluated by a questionnaire. Results: Repeated measures ANOVA (2×3) revealed significant improvements (p < 0.05) in TUG and 30s CST in the EG from the pre- to the post-test and when compared to the CG in the post-test. There were significant increases (p < 0.05) in health perception, 10-step test, and UBT in the EG, and significant improvements (p < 0.05) in these EG variables when compared to the CG in the post-test. Conclusions: Participating in the exercise program resulted in improvements in balance, muscle strength, agility, and health perception in the elderly of the present study.
