Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The elderly population is increasing in Turkey and in the world. Many health problems, such as a decrease in physical and psychological abilities and an increase in chronic problems, occur with aging. It is important to encourage and support practices for the development of exercises to increase physical and cognitive capacity in order to early recognize and reduce the effects of problems that develop with aging. To the best of our knowledge, there is no exercise training to increase reaction time in the elderly in the literature.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was planned as a randomized controlled study. Volunteer participants over the age of 65 living in a nursing home in Ankara will be included in the study. The sample of the study will consist of 28 elderly individuals, as determined by power analysis. The participants will be randomly divided into two groups. One group (Group 1) will receive functional balance exercise training, and the other group (Group 2) will receive functional balance-based reaction exercise training. The participants socio-demographic information, cognitive level ( The Montreal Cognitive Assessment), executive function (Stroop Test), reaction time, physical performance (Four Step Square test, Short Physical Performance Battery, Time Up Go Test) and balance confidence (Falls Efficiency Scale) will be evaluated Evaluations will be repeated at baseline and 8 weeks later. The interventions will be carried out two days a week for 40 minutes for eight weeks.

Functional balance based reaction exercise training.

Functional balance-based balance reaction exercises will be integrated into functional balance exercises with the help of the BlazePod™ training device panel.

Functional reaction balance training

Intervention Type OTHER

The interventions will carried out two days a week and 40 minutes, for eight weeks.

Functional balance training

The exercises will consist of functional balance activities, such as maintaining a standing posture, transitioning from sitting to standing, walking and balancing on one leg.
