“…Safe and effective exercise should be provided to promote exercise for elderly people in the future. Physical function is significantly lower in the late elderly people than in the early elderly people 10 ) . Therefore, exercise intensity should be determined to provide an appropriate exercise program for elderly people.…”

[Purpose] Square-stepping exercise is recommended for elderly people, as it has a positive effect on cognitive and physical functions; however, few studies have examined the exercise intensity of square-stepping exercise. Therefore, we aimed to examine the exercise intensity of square-stepping exercise in community-dwelling late elderly females. [Participants and Methods] Study 1: The participants, constituting 12 community-dwelling late elderly females (age: 78.7 ± 3.8 years), performed the three target step patterns. Exhaled gas, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion using the Borg Scale were measured during square-stepping exercise. Study 2: Participants were 57 community-dwelling elderly females (81.2 ± 4.3 years old). The exercise intensity, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion using the Borg Scale during square-stepping exercise were measured. [Results] Study 1: The average METs of the 3 target step patterns was 3.6 ± 0.7, and the %heart rate reserve and rating of perceived exertion were 54.3 ± 20.0% and 11.4 ± 1.9%, respectively. Study 2: The average METs during the square-stepping exercise program was 2.1 ± 0.2, and the %heart rate reserve and rating of perceived exertion were 19.6 ± 10.2% and 11.3 ± 1.4%, respectively. [Conclusion] Square-stepping exercise was confirmed to be a low to moderate intensity exercise program and is expected to improve health and physical fitness.

For the elderly, the motor function of walking is significant for the maintenance and improvement of their quality of life (QOL). Walking patterns have been postulated to be associated with a decline in walking ability. The objective of this study was to develop a wearable sensor that can capture changes in walking ability in daily life. To this end, motion capture was employed to measure the lower limb joint angles and the trajectories of the lower limbs and knees for each subject while walking at a normal walking speed and to compare the results between elderly and young patients. The differences in walking patterns between the elderly and young patients were analyzed in terms of elevation angles, and an index was calculated to capture changes during walking based on elevation angles and trajectories.
