The Effect of a Combined Training Course on Selected Biomechanical Variables of Balance, Motor Control, Postural Control and Gait of the Active Elderly Men

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of a combined training course on selected biomechanical variables of the elderly active male athlete. 40 active elderly men participated in this study voluntarily in two groups. The experimental group practiced in a combined training program and the control group continued to perform their daily activities during this period. To compare the results before and after exercise in each group, Parametric Paired t test and non-parametric Wilcoxon test were executed using SPSS ver. 21. The results show that a combined training session was not significant in posture control and gait function, but can be effective in improving motor control, balance in active older men and reducing the risk of falls.
