Abstract
This research study investigated the effect of participation in a combination of walking in place and chair-based bodyweight resistance exercises on older adults’ cardiorespiratory endurance and balance. The samples consisted of 60 females aged 60 to 69 and were randomly divided into two groups: 30 subjects for a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group participated in the exercises, 3 days a week for 12 weeks. The independent t-test was used to test the difference between the means of the two groups and the pair t-test was used to test the difference of the means within the groups.
The results of 12-week experiment found that:
1.The mean of walking distance for the six-minute walk test, used for evaluate cardiorespiratory endurance, increased in the treatment group, and the difference between the means of two groups was statistically significant at the .05 level.
2.The mean of time spent in the timed up and go test, used for evaluate balance,decreased in the treatment group, and the difference between the means of two groups were statistically significant at the .05 level.
These results indicated that participation in a combination of walking in place and chair-based bodyweight resistance exercises can improve older adults’ cardiorespiratory endurance and balance.
