Summary

This retrospective study examined the effects of a 12-month training program on physical performance and functional ability in healthy older women. Participants completed structured sessions including aerobic, strength, balance, flexibility, and stability exercises. Standardized tests showed that the intervention improved functional independence and may help prevent falls.

Detailed description

This retrospective study evaluated the long-term effects of multicomponent and stability exercises on physical performance and functional capability in aging women. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a one-year multicomponent, stability-based exercise program on physical performance and functional capability in healthy, active older women. Participants underwent a structured exercise program combining aerobic, strength, balance, flexibility, and stability exercises over 12 months. Outcomes were measured using standardized physical performance tests and functional capability assessments. The results provide evidence that targeted multicomponent and stability exercise interventions can enhance functional independence and contribute to fall prevention in older women.

Conditions
