“…Short et al (2003) reported that aerobic exercise (45 min, 3 times per week for 16 weeks) was associated with improvements in muscle mass. Shigematsu et al (2002) reported that dance-based aerobic exercise (60 min, 3 times per week for 12 weeks) was effective at improving walking speed in older adults aged 65 years and over. These studies did not analyze results according to age subgroups, and did not report effects on mental health.…”

“…Clinical studies have shown that individuals aged 65 to 84 years can benefit significantly from aerobic exercise, improving physical function parameters such as muscle mass, balance, and walking speed (Shigematsu et al 2002;Short et al 2003;Harber et al 2009). In addition, a multicomponent exercise including aerobic exercise has been reported to have a positive impact on balance, gait speed, walking distance, and mobility in older adults aged 65 years and over (Eggenberger et al 2015) or aged 79 to 90 years (Rogers et al 2003;Ansai et al 2016).…”

The effect of aerobic exercise on physical function and mental health in various adult age groups (young-old, 65-74; old-old, 75-84; oldest-old, ≥ 85 years) is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the Kohzuki Exercise Program (KEP) on physical function and mental health in these age groups. The KEP consisted of 40-min supervised sessions 3 times per week for 6 months as follows: 5 min of warm-up, 30 min of lower limb aerobic exercise, and 5 min of cool-down. A total of 50 participants (22 young-old, 20 old-old, and 8 oldest-old) who participated in the KEP completed at least 88% of the sessions. In statistical analysis, 3 (group: oldest-old, old-old, young-old) × 2 (time: baseline and after 6 months) analyses of variance were used to determine if there were significant main and interaction effects. Significant interactions were probed using the post-hoc paired t test. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score showed significant group × time interactions after 6 months (p = 0.031). In the post-hoc test, oldest-old (p < 0.001), old-old (p < 0.001), and young-old (p < 0.01) groups had significantly better physical function after 6 months. However, none of the mental health measures showed group × time interactions at 6-month. Our results suggest that a 6-month KEP led to improved physical function in oldest-old, old-old, and young-old adults. The KEP was effective for oldest-old adults in particular. The KEP exhibits good adherence, making it suitable for a wide age range in society.

“…Pajala et al compared an ankle balance training group and an ankle muscle strengthening exercise group; the former showed less postural swaying than the latter. Shigematsu et al(2002) reported that when elderly persons were trained with single leg standing, squatting, marching, and heel touching, as well as targeted balance, strength, and locomotion/agility, three times per week for 12 weeks, the TUG time was shortened. Hwang Su-Jin reported that when elderly women performed ball exercises five times per week for eight weeks, the subjects' BBS scores improved statistically significantly compared to before the intervention.…”

The most remarkable changes that appear in elderly persons are changes in their muscles and skeletal systems. As aging progresses, elderly persons begin to complain of muscle weakness and fatigue, and the functions of their musculoskeletal system(among other systems) start to decrease as their motility decreases along with decreases in the ability of the muscles that maintain posture. Consequently, geriatric persons' motor abilities decrease, which have direct effects on the quality of their daily lives(1).The aging process leads to decreases in musculature and balancing ability, both of which increase the risk of falls(2). Although the mechanisms that lead to these decreases in balancing ability are complicated, one of the most notable features in the aging process is the decrease in musculature. As aging progresses, the fat and collagen in muscles increases, thus leading to a decrease in muscle strength(3,4). In addition, along with the decrease in physical strength due to the aging process, muscles atrophy. Elderly persons' muscle weakening affects their maintenance of balance; weakening of the lower extremity muscles, in particular, has been reported as a leading cause of falls(5,6). Although these declines in physical strength during senescence cannot be completely prevented, the rates of decrease in physical strength can be reduced, and physical strength can be increased by appropriate physical activities and regular exercise. Physical therapists should therefore select several important elements of physical strength, and elderly people should perform exercises that can strengthen these elements(7).

“…The MMSE has been translated and validated into Portuguese by Bertolucci et al (13) The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is widely used to assess the functional capacity of the elderly, as a predictor of falls. (14)(15)(16)(17) Its achievement is simple: consists in evaluating the normal speed at which a person rising from a chair with arms, walk three meters ahead, turns, walks back three meters and sits in the chair again. During this activity the time is timed.…”
