This study aimed to investigate the effects of a foam roller-based combined exercise program on functional fitness, balance ability, and gait in women aged 65 years and older. Using a 2×2 mixed design, the study compared variables measured before and after a 6-week foam roller-based combined exercise program. A total of 32 old women were randomly assigned to either the foam roller-based exercise group or the control group. The intervention was conducted 3 times a week for 6 weeks, with each session lasting 60 min. The senior fitness test, gait test, Fullerton advanced balance test, and Y-balance test were performed at baseline and postintervention. Participants in the combined exercise group demonstrated significant improvements in upper and lower-body strength, lower extremity flexibility, agility, walking speed, stability, and balance ability. These findings confirm that a foam roller-based combined exercise program incorporating stretching, strength training, and aerobic components is effective in enhancing functional fitness, balance, and gait in older women. The inclusion of props such as foam rollers may help facilitate proper exercise form and activate diverse muscle groups, thereby augmenting the overall efficacy of exercise interventions.
本研究旨在调查基于泡沫轴的综合锻炼计划对65岁及以上女性的身体功能适应性、平衡能力和步态的影响。该研究采用2×2混合设计,比较了在为期6周的基于泡沫轴的综合锻炼计划前后测量的变量。共有32名老年女性被随机分配到基于泡沫轴的锻炼组或对照组。干预每周进行3次,共6周,每次持续60分钟。在基线和干预后进行了老年体能测试、步态测试、富勒顿高级平衡测试和Y平衡测试。综合锻炼组的参与者在上半身和下半身力量、下肢柔韧性、敏捷性、步行速度、稳定性和平衡能力方面有显著改善。这些发现证实,包含拉伸、力量训练和有氧运动成分的基于泡沫轴的综合锻炼计划对提高老年女性的身体功能适应性、平衡和步态是有效的。使用泡沫轴等辅助工具可能有助于促进正确的锻炼形式并激活不同的肌肉群,从而增强运动干预的整体效果。
