Summary

Geriatric problems develop with aging in individuals over 60 years of age. These problems include muscle weakness, balance disorders and changes in quality of life. The aim of our study is to examine the effects of BAPNE (BMe) and qi gong (QG) exercises on balance and quality of life in individuals over the age of 60. In this study, parameters such as fall risk, muscle testing, balance, functional capacity, cognitive functions, depression and sleep quality were evaluated. 56 participants were included in the study. All cases were evaluated for the first time before they were included in the study. In the initial evaluation, Itaki fall risk questionnaire, 6-minute walk test, Berg balance scale, Pittsburg sleep quality index, World Health Organization quality of life scale elderly module, Beck depression scale, mini mental state test, object flipping test, word fluency test, stroop test, muscle strength with Jtech brand myometer and balance on Libra balance board were measured. Participants were divided into groups of 2-6 people, and second assessments were made after a total of 20 sessions of BMe exercises for 6 weeks. After a 2-week rest period, the participants were included in the third assessment and included a total of 20 sessions of QG exercise over 6 weeks.
