“…Moreover the elderly were characterized by a greater concentration of power at low frequencies in the ML postural forces. The appearance of a low-frequency component exhibited by the elderly suggests the emergence of a slow postural drift or a slow shifting of weight during static standing [24]. Over-reliance on hip joint action has been shown in the elderly when they respond to unexpected postural disturbances [25].…”

The authors emphasize the role of physical exercises in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis through reviewing the most important evidences. With the increase of life expectancy, it becomes more and more challenging to fight against osteoporosis related fracture complications and functional restrictions. The article gives an insight into the different physical exercises that are able to influence the condition as prevention and also as treatment possibilities without having adverse side effects. Since improving balance and postural control are essential part of the interventions and they are under the influence of multiple sensory, motor and cognitive systems, this multisystem nature of balance should take into account in falls prevention even in terms of osteoporosis.

Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between self-regulation and balance confidence among the active and in-active elderly in the city of Mahabad. Methods & MaterialsThe cross-correlational research included elderly people aged 60 to 85 years and living in Mahabad city. A total of 93 active elderly and 93 in-active elderly were randomly selected as sample. The Balance Confidence questionnaire and Self-Regulation questionnaire were used to gather data. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson correlation, multiple regressions, and independent t test were used to analyze the collected data. This study was performed using SPSS software. Results The results showed that balance confidence had a positive and significant relationship with all the dimensions of self-regulation in the elderly (P≤0.05). Other than the disclosure feelings component (P=0.250), other dimensions of self-regulation can effect balance confidence. It was also found that there is a significant difference between the active (balance confidence: 3.2446±0.63735; self-regulation: 3.8017±0.75943) and in-active (balance confidence: 2.3468±0.69454; self-regulation: 2.8208±0.79782) elderly (P≤0.05). Conclusion This study confirms that lack of self-regulation in the elderly can lead to decreased physical activity and restrictions. It is suggested that self-regulation should be emphasized in the elderly so that they can overcome their environmental issues and enhance their balance confidence. A B S T R A C T Key words:Older adults, Balance confidence, Positive performance, Self-regulation Extended Abstract Objectivehe main consequences of balance problems in the elderly are falling and the fear of falling; these two consequences affect everyday life activities and the ability to move in home and community [1,2]. The fear of falling also leads to depression and lower quality of life in the elderly [3]. Studies on T balance confidence have reported its relationship with some functional abilities and personal characteristics in the elderly [4,5]. In addition to the relationship between balance confidence and balance performance [6,7], the relationship between balance confidence and physical activity [8] has also been confirmed. One of the factors that can contribute to balance confidence in the elderly is self-regulation. Self-regulation refers to the processes based on which people control their thoughts, feelings, and actions [9]. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between Methods & MaterialsThe present study was an applied research in terms of objective and also a descriptive-correlational one in terms of data collection. The entire research process was conducted under the supervision of the local ethics committee of the Department of Sports Sciences in Uremia University. The study population consisted of all older adults aged 60-85 years old in Mahabad city. A sample of 93 active and 93 inactive elders was selected using available sampling method. Here, inactive elderly subjects referred to those el...

“…Entre as estruturas orgânicas responsáveis por essa interação, citam-se: sistema visual, sistema vestibular, sistema somatossensorial, sistema proprioceptivo, tempo de resposta às perturbações, adequada força muscular (8,27). Há que se considerar ainda a inatividade física (8) e comprometimentos cognitivos (28).…”

“…Samah et al O processo de envelhecimento ativo ocorre com a participação e conhecimento desde o adulto até o idoso sobre os riscos à sua saúde e sobre os processos de manutenção da sua independência funcional. Atuar no autocuidado e manter-se ativo no dia a dia promovendo mudança dos hábitos permitirá minimizar a ocorrência de eventos adversos (27). O Brasil evolui com mudanças do perfil demográfico, de uma população jovem e adulta para o predomínio de idosos (75) e medidas públicas no sentido de minimizar o impacto desse processo sobre as demandas financeiras e de saúde são necessidades na atualidade.…”

Tridimensional da Marcha" objetivou determinar, dentre as medidas têmporo-espaciais, quais apresentam precocidade de risco de queda, quando comparadas à literatura.Amostra composta por dois grupos: jovens (20-39 anos) e adultas idosas (50-69 anos).Considerou-se a média de 46 medidas têmporo-espaciais, lados direito (D) e esquerdo (E), para análise tridimensional. Houve diferença estatística significativa para comprimento da passada D (p=0,003) e E (p=0,002); passo D (p=0,008) e E (p=0,001); período do apoio E (p=0,008); período do passo D (p=0,049); duplo suporte E (p=0,003); largura da base E (p=0,005); resposta à carga E (p=0,001); pré-balanço D (p=0,001) e E (p=0,001), bem como para as seguintes medidas em percentil do ciclo de marcha: apoio E (p=0,001); balanço E (p=0,001); simples suporte E (p=0,025); resposta à carga E (p<0,001); pré-balanço E (p=0,001) e pré-balanço D (p=0,014 swing. Linear regression indicates that step and stride length change 18% and gait velocity changes 20% with age variation. These findings suggest that fall risk begins from the age of 50 and expand knowledge about gait changes in an age group still considered fall risk-free and offer informtions to preventive programs.
