Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effi cacy of a progressive resistance training program on dynamic balance and functional mobility among the institutionalized elderly. Methods: A total of 45 institutionalized elderly from a senior welfare home participated in this quasi-experimental study. The exercise group (n = 21) attended a group-based program for 12 weeks, meeting twice a week. A 2-factor repeated-measures analysis of variance and independent and paired t tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed a signifi cant improvement for the exercise group in the Reach Test for the forward (% Δ = 18.51%), right (% Δ = 20.0%), and left (% Δ = 17.7%) directions and in the 6-Minute Walk Test (% Δ = 12.09%, all P s < .001) after the intervention. Conclusion: The elastic band training provides a simple and inexpensive exercise program that improves the balance control and consequently functional mobility effectively
