Brief Summary

In this study, investigators tried to find a useful and safe way of training for the elderly population which can help this population to improve their fitness factors as fast as possible. investigators have tried to see if different intensity training has different effects on the dynamic and static balance of elderly women in different time points (4, 8, and 12 weeks). Investigators hypothesized that Higher intensity would be more effective to improve balance at different time points. The participants were trained twice per week and each session contain 4 exercises ( leg press, leg extension, leg curl, and seated calf raises) and the data have been collected at the pre-test and 4th, 8th, and 12th weeks of intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Change from Baseline in the Mean of Front Reach Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  The distance that subject can lean forward measured in centimetre (cm) with measuring tape. The higher score is better. The minimum is 5 cm and maximum 50 cm

  Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

• Change from Baseline in the Mean of Lateral Reach Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  The distance that subject can lean to the side measured in centimetre (cm) with measuring tape. The higher score is better. Minimum is 5 cm and maximum is 50 cm

  Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

• Change from Baseline in the Mean of One Leg Stand at 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  The timed that subject can stand in 1 leg recorded in second using a stop watch. The higher score is better. minimum is 1 second and maximum is 30 second

  Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

• Change from Baseline in the Mean of Tandem Stand Test at 4, 8, and 12 weeks

  The timed that subject can stand one leg front and one leg back condition recorded in second using a stop watch. The higher score is better. Minimum is 1 second and maximum is 30 second

  Baseline, 4th weeks, 8th weeks, 12th weeks

Study Arms (4)

High Intensity Training (HIT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants trained at 80-90% of 1RM for 12 weeks, twice per week.

Other: High Intensity Training

Moderate Intensity Training (MIT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants trained at 65-75% of 1RM for 12 weeks, twice per week.

Other: Moderate Intensity Training

Low Intensity Training (LIT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants trained at 50-60% of 1RM for 12 weeks, twice per week.

Other: Low Intensity Training

Control Group (CG)

NO INTERVENTION

Participants did not participate in any training and they advised to do their daily activity

Interventions

High Intensity Training OTHER

High Intensity Training group performed resistance training with the intensity of 80 - 90 % of 1RM with 4 - 6 repetition

High Intensity Training (HIT)

Moderate Intensity Training OTHER

Moderate Intensity Training group performed resistance training with the intensity of 65 - 75 % of 1RM with 8 - 10 repetition

Moderate Intensity Training (MIT)

Low Intensity Training OTHER

Low Intensity Training group performed resistance training with the intensity of 50 - 60 % of 1RM with 12 - 14 repetition

Low Intensity Training (LIT)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 65 Years+
• Sex: female
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Aged 65 years old and above.
• Orientation to place, time, and person, able to follow the simple instructions, and perform the exercises.
• Without any health problems that would interfere with their safety or ability to complete high and low-intensity training such as the occurrence of myocardial infarction in the past six months, recent heart attack, uncontrolled hypertension (Blood Pressure \>166/96 mm Hg), a broken leg in the past six months, diagnosed osteoporosis, and diagnosed stage three and four of heart failure.

You may not qualify if:

• Participation in regular balance or lower body resistance training during the past three months (at least twice per week).
• The health issues that might confound the study results, including lower- body neuropathy, stroke within the past year, Parkinson's disease, diagnosed vestibular disorders, severe vision (self-rated vision as poor or very poor even when wearing glasses or contact lenses), and lower- extremity joint replacements.
• Taking the regular medication's impairing balance ability (Antidepressants, Neuroleptics or Benzodiazepines) or muscle strength (Corticosteroids).
• Elderly with dementia
