“…Hence, our results suggest that strength training alone might be insufficient to improve postural control in elderly. Alternative fall prevention strategies, such as proprioceptive training [31] or the use of sensory cues in the environment, should therefore be explored. Fig.…”

A B S T R A C TThe response to stance perturbations changes with age. The shift from an ankle to a hip strategy with increasing perturbation magnitude occurs at lower accelerations in older than in young adults. This strategy shift has been related to age-related changes in muscle and sensory function. However, the effect of isolated changes in muscle or sensory function on the responses following stance perturbations cannot be determined experimentally since changes in muscle and sensory function occur simultaneously. Therefore, we used predictive simulations to estimate the effect of isolated changes in (rates of change in) maximal joint torques, functional base of support, and sensory noise on the response to backward platform translations. To evaluate whether these modeled changes in muscle and sensory function could explain the observed changes in strategy; simulated postural responses with a torque-driven double inverted pendulum model controlled using optimal state feedback were compared to measured postural responses in ten healthy young and ten healthy older adults. The experimentally observed peak hip angle during the response was significantly larger (5°) and the functional base of support was smaller (0.04 m) in the older than in the young adults but peak joint torques and rates of joint torque were similar during the recovery. The addition of noise to the sensed states in the predictive simulations could explain the observed increase in peak hip angle in the elderly, whereas changes in muscle function could not. Hence, our results suggest that strength training alone might be insufficient to improve postural control in elderly.

“…The Xbox Kinect system is a sensor based active video game system, which requires body movements to control the game [18]. Recently, investigators have examined the effects of Xbox Kinect intervention on reduction of fall among the elderly person [15,19]. The Xbox Kinect based on balance training which is more enjoyable and easier than the traditional training and incorporated competitiveness and goal achievements.…”

ABSTRACT:Background: Falling among old individuals has provoked ceaseless discussion among gerontologists and physical therapists and it is still one of the greatest issues among this population. Loss of the balance and functional mobility is the main reason of falling. There have been numerous studies conducting the effect of the conventional balance exercise and exergame independently on balance and functional mobility of elderly. Previous studies lacked dealing with the effect of combined exergame and conventional exercise on the balance and functional mobility. Combined exercises are enjoyable and may have more effective to improve balance and performance to reduce risk of fall among elderly people. This package would be preferable for older people. Objective: We hypothesize that while conventional balance exercise and exergame improve balance and functional mobility, combined both types of exercise would superior improvements in elderly performance. Conclusion: Ultimately we expect that this hypothesis will provide a useful framework for facilitating combined exergame and conventional balance intervention in older people.

Background: Obesity, as a chronic disease, is becoming increasingly prevalent especially among women. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of resistance training (RT), concurrent resistance training and aerobic training (RT + AT) on visfatin concentrations and body composition in overweight and obese women. Methods: An eight-week pretest-posttest design with two experimental exercising groups and one control group was used. 45 overweight and obese women were randomized into resistance training (RT), concurrent resistance and aerobic training (RT + AT) or an education-only groups (EDU). All participants received a dietary and education/counselling intervention. However, only the RT and RT + AT group participated in the eight-week exercise training. Results: Repeated measures analysis showed that visfatin was significantly decreased by 8.5% in the RT (P = 0.02) and 29.2% in the RT + AT (P < 0.001), but not in EDU (3.7%; P = 0.22). BMI was decreased in the RT (6.8%; P < 0.001), RT + AT (8.1%; P < 0.001) and EDU (4.4%; P < 0.001), while BF% decreased in the RT (6.9%; P = 0.001), RT + AT (13.1%; P= 0.001), and EDU (4.9%; P = 0.020). WHR was decreased in the RT (2.4%; P = 0.001), in the RT + AT (4.2%; P = 0.002) and EDU (2.5%; P = 0.02). VO2max (mL.kg -1 .min -1 ) increased in the RT (16.3%; P =
